[WORKSHOPS] It’s time for the annual Maui Writers Conference! Get your pad and pen. Are you ready for the list of presenters? Here we go: Diana Ossana, Bobby Morseco, William Martin, James Rollins/James Clemens, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Gary Braver, Karen Joy Fowler, Dorothy Allison, Gail Tsukiyama, Ron Powers, H. W. Brands, Sam Horn, Michael Palmieri, Stephen Bulka, John Soriano, Andy Cohen and Chris Keane. All of these established authors are here to mold you into the amazing writer you hope to be, no matter what genre you’re interested in. Workshops, professional consultations, dinner galas, evening presentations, award ceremony, open mic, and a bookstore. They’ve got it all. At $595 kama’aina rate, it is a little pricey, but when you’re a million dollar screenplay writer, you’ll scoff at the miniscule lot of cash you dropped to get there. Visit www.mauiwriters.com or call 879-0061. [HEIDI KING]
