Writers for New Orleans!
Welcome to Writers for New Orleans!
In 2010, we'll welcome authors J.A. Konrath, L.E. Banks, Kayla Perrin, and the one and only Sarah Wendell from smartbitches.com. Once again, it will be Labor Day weekend, and of course, we'll keep our eye on the Atlantic!
Due to popular demand and the amazing good time had by all, Kathy Love and Erin McCarthy will once again host the Welcome Party at Krazy Korner on Bourbon. We all thank them so much--we get to start off with a terrific bang!
After, it's a glorious night on the Red Carpet! This year, Helen Rosburg's theme is "A Night With the Stars!"
Yes, folks, think of who you always wanted to be--who you envied! You can be that person for a night! A night with your host with the most, Mr. Scott Perry, and karaoke, or easy conversation on the terrace, your choice. There will be some surprise entertainment out there--but also low key enough for friends to enjoy a chance to chat with friends they haven't seen! No favorite star? YOU are a star--come as yourself, sing if you like, or enjoy the great and funny escapades of friends, or just chat, chat, chat!
Our special guests will kick off the Saturday morning breakfast, and panels will then commence. Lunch--yes, you guessed it--go out and enjoy the Big Easy's great restaurants or peruse the shops! Come back for more panels and then--Saturday night. The theme this year is Masquerade! We'll combine Mardi Gras with Carnivale in Rio, in Venice . . . and so on! Masks, gowns . . . whatever your wildest imagination will allow. Slush Pile Band with Dave, Paul, Bobby, and Mary, and general craziness will ensue! Lots of costume prizes this year.
As many of you know, we lost a dear friend of one of most ardent supporters last year--Miss Kate Duffy. She will be missed as long as any of us live--her incredible insight, her wit, her brilliance, her incredible dry sense of humor. But, in her honor, the "Duffy" award will continue, and award and the guarantee that a major publisher will read and honor the best-written query letter.
The award will always be the "Duffy"--or, as we loved to tease Kate, the "DuFee!"
