Writers! In anticipation of increased sitting and decreased mobility throughout our conference weekend, we've prepared a special stretch video for our attendees! (Actually, for all writers who could use some tips on how to properly stretch tight back, hips, and shoulders.) We hope you enjoy! Big thanks to Parallel Yoga. This video will also be available on our SiWC at Home conference website. https://www.youtube.com/watch... #SiWCatHome #SiWC20 #stretch #writers #sittingproblems

Hey, all. We just wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to those to donated funds to go towards conference packages for those who may not otherwise have been able to register. We're completely blown away (yet again) by our amazing writing community. You guys rock! #SiWC20 #thisdaywewrite #registrationisopen

Hi, writers! In anticipation of our virtual conference in October, we thought we'd post some hints and tips for a great video conference/webinar experience. This article from Entrepreneur has some good ones, but what else can you recommend? https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/238902 (We'll be providing conference attendees with our own recommended best practices, but we'd love to hear what has worked--and not--for everyone so far...) #SiWC20 #thisdaywewrite

Hello, lovely writers. It's REGISTRATION DAY! We are being flooded with questions about registering for more than one master class scheduled in the same time block. Here is some clarification: we have intentions of recording as many workshops and master classes as possible, but we cannot confirm which ones will be recorded yet. As such, you will only be permitted to register for one master class per time slot. After we confirm our recording schedule (give us a few weeks): if... you want to purchase another master class occurring in the same time slot as one you’ve already registered for with the intention of viewing it at a later date, you can reach out to our administrative coordinator (Jen) at [email protected] to have it added to your package. Hope this helps, and we wish everyone good internet connectivity vibes for noon. ;)
