25 Years of Helping Writers Write and Get  Published
 
 
25th Anniversary of the Western Reserve  Writers Conference  
Saturday, September 20,  2008 
8:30 – 4:15  p.m. at Lakeland Community College 
In 1983, local writer, teacher and  businesswoman, Lea Leever Oldham, had an 
idea. She knew that writing, a solitary  activity in itself, can be a lonely 
profession. She knew that all writers,  especially beginning writers, needed 
guidance, support and fellowship. And that  they needed to hear from those who 
have “been there,” and gone on to successful  writing careers. More 
importantly, they needed to learn just how they could  become one of those success 
stories.   
Lea's inspiration, along with the Community  Learning staff at Lakeland 
Community College, became the 1st annual  Western Reserve Writers’ Conference.   
This silver anniversary will be a truly  special event for writers of all 
ages and levels. There'll be the return of  several top-notch writers who 
presented under Lea’s reign (such as Les Roberts,  Sarah Willis, and Michael 
Salinger), as well as new names who more recently has  been added to the “successful 
author” roster (Casey Daniels, Kathleen Murphy  Colan, and David Rastoka). 
Attendees may choose between four sessions  each hour on a variety of topics 
spanning nearly every genre, as well as  business tips on contracts, 
copyrights, selling and marketing your book, and  writing online.  
The day will begin with a special keynote by  Deanna Adams, who will speak 
about her mentors, and how true writing success  comes from the help of mentors, 
as well as the camaraderie of other  writers.  
There'll be a book sale, and author signing,  editing consults, and a Q & A 
panel hosted by the presenters at day’s end. Lunch will be included in fee, if 
registered by September  12.
