Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference 2009
Literacy is our purpose.
Fulfilling dreams is our goal.
www.scribblersretreatwritersconference.com
@ Sea Palms Resort, St. Simons Island, Georgia
February 12-15, 2009 – Elizabeth Blahnik, Ernest Gilbert, Pam Mueller, Kathy Kerr, Maggie Toussaint, Dr. Jim Outlaw, Lee Carter, Millie Wilcox, Monica Simmons, Roger Pinckney
May 14-17, 2009 –Dickie Anderson (F), Ed Ginn, Ervin Williams, Holly McClure, Cappy Rearick, Harlan Hambright, Constance Daley, Bud Hearn, William Rawlings

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.

“Playing the Game” is a gritty, fast paced story of deception, manipulation and greed. These people will do anything for fast cash, including transporting a suit case nuke that is destined for terrorist hands. Set in New York, Seattle, Milan, Italy and the ski area of St. Moritz, Switzerland, they move among the rich and beautiful as they compete for the promised million dollar pay off.
Hi Victoria
Thanks for dropping by my page. Nice looking video and cover.
Let me make a suggestion. Enter both cover and vid in March contest for "Covey" awards for vids and covers.
http://thenewcoveyawards.blogspot.com/
Feb voting is still going on so you can see 30 books that entered (and why I think you're a good shot at winning :-) Also, usually one prize is a vote, so the more friends you have, the better chance.
If you don't mind some suggestions on your website:
1. All that shows up on the browser is "Page 1". You need to change it so it says "Victoria Wells' SuperCool Site: Buy or Die!" (or some such)
Find the tags and replace the page number between them with your name and something different for each page (VICTORIA WELLS' AUTHOR PAGE: :Links) for instance. On each page add something like :Links or whatever, for several reasons. This is your site's intro to a browser...and what it saves as in Bookmarks...
2. You have a purchase page ("Order" is considered a less "in your face" way to put it by marketers, by the way) but NO LINK??? This is the main purpose of that page, if not your whole site. Make those names of bookstores live, clickable links that go right to your page. For amazon.com (which I'd suggest you list FIRST) that link would be http://www.amazon.com/Special-Summer-Victoria-Wells/dp/0979975778/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203997551&sr=8-1
add the TARGET="_new" variable to it so that amazon or whatever opens in a new window and people don't wander off your site.
3. It's confusing for the items in your header menu to jump around like that. People look where they just saw "Purchase" or whatever and it's not there. I'd recommend keeping it the same on every page. Actually easier to do.
4. Your contact page also has a URL that isn't a live link. ALL your links should be live for a lot of reasons. People don't like cutting and pasting, they just want to click. AND the amount of links to your various sites is part of how the web "sees" you. The more links, the more google and such are aware of you...and the more likely some fly will trip down the web to where you are.
Don't worry about the promotion but worry about the materials.. If your novel is as good as what I read Victoria, the words of mouth would soak into the hearts of every romanctic acts ready to surrender to love.
