EAST LANSING--Barnes & Noble in East Lansing, Mich., will again host the annual PW Spring Fling Writing Thing. The 2009 day-long Fling is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, beginning at 10 a.m.

 

Denise Brennan-Nelson, an award-winning children's book author and accomplished motivational speaker will lead off the event, with a focused presentation on creativity. The Fling will also feature genre-specific breakout sessions, to include personal writing time and sharing. Writers, artists, parents, teachers and children throughout the region have been inspired by Brennan-Nelson, who is as recognized for her "boundless energy and enthusiasm," as she is for her award-winning books, including her latest, Willow. She was the keynote presenter at the 2008 Michigan Arts Educators Association Conference.

 

The event is free and open to the public; for those desiring, opportunities to donate to the PW Scholarship Fund to assist writers attending PW conferences will be available throughout the day.
