The conference is November 12 and 13, 2010 and aims to celebrate the literary arts with Detroit area authors, writers and avid readers. The two-day event is an opportunity for aspiring and established authors and writers to connect with colleagues, peers and most importantly, patrons of their art: readers. Since 2000, the Motown Writers Network has served as a viable resource and networking organization for writers in the metropolitan Detroit area. This year is the organization's 10th anniversary. "I'm so excited about this year's conference," says Sylvia Hubbard, founder of the Motown Writers Network. "The conference has grown so much through the years and this being our 10- year anniversary as an organization just shows that the literary community in Detroit is alive and hungry for resources. And that's what we strive to bring." Presenting at the conference are such notables as New York best-selling author, publisher and visionary, Relentless Aaron and Detroit urban music author, Chris Campbell. The event will also feature literary experts, publishers for pitching sessions, workshops, and awards. The conference host partner, Detroit Impact has supported the Motown Writers Network since its inception, according to Calvin Colbert, executive director. "Sylvia and I go way back," says Colbert. "Years ago, she volunteered with us as a young mother, bringing her children with her. She shared her dream to have the Motown Writers Network and we've seen her dream come true. So, definitely, we're one of her strongest supporters. Writing and reading are very important parts of our programs at the Detroit Impact Center and we encourage those efforts every opportunity we can." For parents who want to attend the conference, there will be a Literary Kids Zone with activities for children and youth. Many of the conference activities are of no charge to attendees.
