Later this month, on Saturday, I’ll be dropping in on MWA University, which is being hosted in Philadelphia this time. Organized by the Mystery Writers of America, the low-cost, full-day seminar covers the novel-writing process (not just crime stuff) from the idea phase to publication. The courses are taught by published writers who also
happen to experienced college-level teachers: Reed Farrel Coleman, Hallie Ephron Kathleen George, Jess Lourey, Hank Phillippi Ryan, and Daniel Stashower. The workshop will take place at the Sheraton Philadelphia Society Hill and  is open to the public. It costs $50 for MWA members and $75 for non-members. Seating is limited, so you have to register first!
