Writers Conference At Sea

Saturday, September 20th, 2008



The Hill Team belongs to the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA). As a Board Member and Conference/Media Trip Co-Chairman, I’m pleased to tell you about our upcoming Conference at Sea on Holland America’s MS Oosterdam, January 3-10, 2009 departing San Diego with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta where we are planning exciting excursions.

For all of you food, wine or travel writers, this is a perfect time to join. For those who are members, a program not to miss. We’ll have professional development as well as chef demos.

Our associate members are invited to join us and we will have a mini-marketplace.

This conference is open to all media and industry professionals, including writers, photographers, public relations, publicists and marketing personnel. Non-members who sign up and pay for this conference by November are eligible for a full 1-year membership with all benefits, included in the listed price.

Come join us for a great experience. Plus, that will give us the chance to meet you.

Writing Tip – Success

Thursday, September 18th, 2008


“Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.”

I love this quote by William Feather that I discovered in Penny Sansevieri’s marketing book… From Book to Bestseller. wwwamarketingexpert.com. You can find more of Feathers quotes on Braineyquote.

I will use it and remember it – just wish I had seen it before we published our book called Success, Your Path to a Successful Book.
