Mad Anthony Writers Conference

One of Hamilton, Ohio's distinctive and dynamic delights (how do you feel about the alliteration there? See what I did?) is the Mad Anthony "Write Like Mad" Writers Conference, which this year takes place April 13-15.

The conference site is the Harry Wilks Conference Center on the Hamilton campus of Miami University.

Last evening's events kicked off the conference (after the annual Murder & Mayhem seminar for mystery and crime writers).

Conference director Victoria Ryan (above) opened the conference.

The first session, on writing hooks that sell, was presented by Jane Friedman, former publisher and media executive who blogs at JaneFriedman.com. She was followed by author Christina Katz, creator and host of the Northwest Author Series.

The conference continues through today, with Master Classes offered tomorrow morning.
