The 2013 Conference promises to be THE Writers’ Conference of the year.
I am interested in attending. I don’t see the cost.
Also, I am a registered interpreter-translator with the Administrative Office of the Court in NC and in the State of Guanajuato. I would like to offer my translating-interpreting services during the conference.
We are busily preparing the 2013 Writers’ Conference website that will include online registration. Prices and lots of other information about the conference will be available in late August/ early September.
I’ve forwarded your name and information to the appropriate channels about translation. They should be in contact with you soon.

I too would like to know about costs, so that i can begin to save money to register and attend this conference.
We hope to have the costs and other information available by the 16th of September.
I’m confused. Do the conference costs as outlined in the registration page include lodging? If not, where and what are the lodging options?
The Conference package does not include lodging.

I was in Morelia and San Miguel for two weeks in June. I have traveled to Mexico seven times in the past two years, flying out of Tijuana. When I tell friends where I’m going, they always look at me askance and ask, “Is it safe?” Of course it’s safe—especially far away from the U.S. border. I have walked the streets of Mexican cities at night and felt far safer than if I were walking in downtown Los Angeles. I love Mexico. I love the way I have been welcomed by its people over and over again, even though my grasp of Spanish is rudimentary at best. I will never stop visiting this wonder-filled country!
