You read it correctly. We’ll be having another JOT: GR Writers Mini-Conference on Friday, September 13th, 2013. We’re working on the outline for the evening now and will be posting updates here as we get things finalized. Here’s what is set in stone:
When: Friday, September 13th, 2013 at 7pm
Where: Baker Book House
What: We’ll be focusing on the same three key goals we focused on for the first JOT conference – Meet. Learn. Write.
Our first goal is to provide writers with an time to meet each other and strengthen the Grand Rapids literary scene through a fun community event.
Our second goal is to provide excellent content for writers to learn something about the craft or the industry.
Our third goal is provide busy writers with space and time to actually write and not just talk about it. We’re all busy, but by attending JOT you are insured some quality writing time in a beautiful local book store.
Cost: Totally FREE.
Who: For sure The Weaklings will be there (Josh, Matt, Bob, and Andy) along with some friends in the publishing industry and writing community. More to come!
We’ve got a lot planned for JOT this September. Watch this space, and our Facebook page, for updates. We’ll be posting them as we’ve got them. Hope to see you there!
Keep writing!

My writers group the Weaklings is launching another mini writers conference in Grand Rapids, MI. More information to follow. If you are a local author or wannabe writer, this event is not to miss!
Great! Do we just show up….or must we register?
Just show up! No registration required. 🙂
This is the first I’ve heard of this conference, and I really wish I could go! If I’d known about it sooner, I’d have saved the date. Are you planning one for next year? (I heard about it through Baker Book House.)
Monica,
Thank you for reaching out. The first Jot Conference was held in February this year. At this time we are not sure what the schedule will be in 2014 but we can add you to the email list to make sure you are contacted when we begin marketing for the next one. I would recommend following us on our blog here or on our Facebook page for more information between now and the next Jot Conference. Happy Writing.
Great, thanks!
