Gulf Coast Writers Group

From Kathy Nixon

From a member of Peace River Writers, which has joined with the Gulf
Coast Writers group to highlight writers from Naples to Bradenton at a
weekend gathering at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora, FL from Friday
September 27-Sunday September 29.  All writers are welcome

There is no cost to participate, but you must make a reservation to
stay at the Inn at a cost of $99 for one night, $89 for a two night
stay, or $79 for a three night stay.  The Lakeside Inn phone number is
352-383-4101.  If you are interested, you must tell them you are with
the "Gulf Coast Writers" for the special rate.  The town is beautiful,
and there is plenty to do besides the book festival, so it might be fun
to bring a spouse or to come with another author.

Tables will be displayed in the lobby of the hotel throughout the
weekend with your own table space and signings planned for both Saturday
and Sunday.  On Saturday and Sunday mornings there will be a
storytelling hour with readings by children's authors.  Book signing
events will be from 11 a.m.to 4 p.m. And there will also be talks on the
writing craft during both days. At 6:00 there is a three-course dinner
for all writers--with a special price.

If you are interested in attending, you must first call the Inn for
reservations to be sure there is an available room.  Then you need to
e-mail Ken Feeley--with the Gulf Coast Writers to let him know you are
going.  His e-mail is klfeeley@embarqmail.com and his phone number is
239-992-2726 if you want to attend
