2005 Conference Highlights
From 'Best Sellers' and wine tasting at the Starlight Room, to the Saturday morning "West Coast Live" programming, to the stellar keynote by John Lescroart, the priceless "conversation" between Karen Joy Fowler and Gail Tsukiyama, and the inspirational closing talk by Jack Canfield, attendees listened, learned and laughed for three days straight. Open mic sessions and pitch contests closed out Friday and Saturday nights. And Saturday night, the presenters watched the Chinatown New Year Parade from the veranda of the Presidential Suite.
Joyce Maynard and Herbert Gold differed about the purpose of memoir, while Adair Lara watched bemusedly; Lee Goldberg gave a great portrait of life as a screenwriter, while Jewelle Gomez put the poets through their paces.
Saturday and Sunday closed the day with busy book signings and no-host conversations. And some of the volunteers banded together in writers groups bent on publication. Tune in next year for the results.
