Populore co-owner Rae Jean Sielen launched her summer fun by attending the West Virginia Writers annual summer conference in Ripley, West Virginia. The long weekend was jam-packed with wonderful workshops, helpful info, tips, and insights. Especially interesting: “Publishing Options: What They Are, Aren’t, and Shouldn’t Be” (panel), “Becoming an Indie Publisher—Doing It Right,” and “The Landscape of Publishing Memoir & Narrative Nonfiction.” All of this, in a beautiful setting, including an often-photographed covered bridge. If you’re in the state and not already a member of WV Writers, consider joining. The benefits are many and the members are the kindest and most talented bunch of folks around.

Time with colleagues keeps us excited and at the top of our game.
