 "The Muse Online Writers Conference is an amazing concept. I will plug it   from now until next year's. It is an astounding opportunity for writers to learn their craft, or a new one, get advice and tips, network, and move forward in their careers.

   "What I don't think you and Lea realize is the blessing this type of conference is for those with disabilities who can't physically go to one, and for those who may not be able to afford to attend conferences. It allows us to partake of the knowledge and experience of wonderful writers, authors, editors, marketers, and publishers. And, it gives us the opportunity to PITCH OUR WORK!

   "I couldn't be more thankful and appreciative of your time, effort, and the obvious caring that goes into these amazing conferences."
 ~ Karen Cioffi, Founder of Virtual Book Tours

Michelle Graff Credits the Muse Conference with Her Poetry Success.
 Her letter illustrates  how education at conferences can work for you.
 

"I'm SOOO excited -- my poem "Poetry's Heartbeat" is in the January 2008 issue of The Desert Woman Magazine.

"This issue is absolutely the best ever -- and not just because I'm in it.  Publisher Barbara McClure is a warm, wonderful person, and the DW is her baby. Every article is clear, full of insight about finding our own path, making choices, embracing that which helps us move forward.  I'm truly blown away to be part of this.

"I met Carolyn Howard-Johnson (co-Muse Conference Founder) in Dec. 2005, when she was a panelist at the DW mini Book Fair (a luncheon the newspaper sponsors each December in the Palm Springs desert). When Carolyn talked about seeing the world in images, it struck me like lightning.  We talked after her presentation, and she encouraged me to see my poetry with open eyes. We've kept in touch off and on since then; she's always funny and supportive.

"The first poem I sent to the Desert Woman was published March 2006. The next one I sent was part of their special Thanksgiving issue. Poetry Editor Dessa Reed is the kind of editor I hope to have with other projects someday.  She understands how much our words mean to us, and skillfully helps sharpen them even more.

"And now this one -- about creating more fulfilling lives for ourselves.

"Because of The Desert Woman, I met Carolyn.  Because of Carolyn, I made my first poetry submission.  Through Carolyn's Sharing with Writers  newsletter, I discovered The MUSE CONFERENCE.  Through the Muse Conference, I've learned so much, and written more -- shared much more -- and gained greater belief in myself and my abilities.

"Thank you, Carolyn and Lea. Thank you, Alpha Musers (my on-line non-fiction critique group. They had nothing to do with my poem, but much to do with my confidence.)  Thank you, the rest of the Muses in our Universe."
~  Michele Graf, poet and author.
