Dude, the schedule for WriteOnCon 2011 is shaping up to be longer, better, and LIVER than ever! That’s right, we have live events scheduled throughout each day of the conference—not just in the evening!
I hope you’ve taken vacation from your day job from Tuesday, August 16 – Thursday, August 18. If you haven’t—or you can’t—don’t worry! You can access all of our posts after the conference too.
Today, you’ll get the details for how the live events (NOT Forum Events–more coming on those soon!) will work.
1. About 30 minutes before a scheduled live event, a window will be posted in a blog post on the main WriteOnCon site.
2. You can log in, but it’s not required to participate or ask a question.
3. Each of the live chats has an assigned topic, and one of the WriteOnCon girls will be moderating.
4. Questions can be submitted any time once the live chat window opens.
5. Questions need to be asked ONLY ONCE. You won’t see your comment come through, but on our end, the comments are visible and we have behind-the-scenes WOC girls putting them on hold.
6. The moderator of the chat will put through as many questions as possible for the WriteOnCon faculty member(s) to answer. We really try to put forth the questions as fast as possible, from as many of you as possible.
7. Pitching/Querying is not appropriate for live chats.
8. If you cannot attend one of the live events, a transcript will be available afterward, in the same blog post as the live window.
That’s it! If you have questions about how the live events will work, leave them for us here.
Our schedule will be out in the next couple of weeks so you can start planning! It’s gonna rock your world. Meanwhile keeping watching the blog as we continue to detail how everything is going to work for this year’s conference.
How to Register for WriteOnCon – details here.
Can’t wait to hear the line up. I know I’ll be sad at work for the ones I can’t attend live. But I can’t wait!
So excited!
I’ll be working – hard to get the time off – but I look forward to this. Let the excitement come forth!
Looking forward to reading the transcript with Jessica Sinsheimer!
) Unfortunately I can’t be there for the live even because the time difference sucks :-/
Is the schedule up yet? How about now? Now? Is it up NOW?
Can’t wait!
Ishta, it’s not up yet. We’re hoping for Friday, but it might be Monday before we get it solid enough to post.
This is the first Writeon Con.com conference I’m been too. I can’t wait!
How about now? Is it up yet? It’s been TWO weeks since the 27th. We’re all so anxious!
Do I have to register each time I want to read a forum event? Tell me what page I go to to find out about my event. Yesterday I had NO PROBLEM POSTING, but today I can’t find any of the events I want to follow. Please advise in a simple way. Your directions are too long and complicated. Thanks.
I’m having issues with the pages bumping me off every few minutes or so. I end up having to log in with my user name & password again. Several times I’ve replied or posted something after already having logged in. It then tells me I don’t have permission to view the page, etc. & makes me log in again! It’s very frustrating. I’ve lost a new query (which I foolishly didn’t save) due to this issue! Ugggh.Is anyones lese having this issue?
I can’t seem to find out how to listen in on the forum/event about trad vs independent publishing. Can anyone walk me through so I can hear and participate today?
