OJAI, CA (February 21, 2011) – Ventura and Santa Barbara counties are home to a large writer population-novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, and other media enthusiasts and professionals. To introduce this eclectic literary collective to Ojai’s newest event, WordFest — a “word” festival spanning two weekends and nine days March 19-27, 2011 — area writers are being offered $75 off on any master writing class offered by Ojai Writers Conference (OWC).

Created for writers of all skill levels and genres, the Master Class series features internationally distinguished writing experts who will converge in Ojai to offer world-class intensives from fiction, nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, poetry, children’s literature and young adult to the business of writing-marketing, building platforms, public relations, promotions, creating eEooks, and more.

Guided by these skilled Master Teachers, participants will learn how to develop and tap into their “voice” to reveal what works, what doesn’t work, and how to turn their idea into a story that engages readers and, ultimately, sells.

–  Everybody Loves Raymond former Co-Executive Producer
–  Hollywood’s #1 Script Consultant
–  Endowment for the Arts Award-Winning Playwright
–  New York Times Best-Seller List Expert
–  “Kid Lit” Market Specialist
