More classes have been added to the line up at the San Diego Writers, Ink Fall For Writing Conference this month. To wrap up the event on Sunday evening, Barbarella Fokos, new author of the book Diary of a Diva will talk about the writing process and read from her book.
The Fall For Writing conference will hold sessions all weekend from September 12 to 14, 2014. Classes and workshops run the gamut from fiction, memoir and poetry writing, to collage and marketing classes.
Barbarella Fokos was the executive producer and host of Art Pulse TV (which aired on NBC San Diego, COZI TV, and is now re-airing twice a day on County TV in San Diego). The show was all about taking viewers behind the scenes of everything art in San Diego County and Baja. She won a regional Emmy award for producing the show.
She also used to do regular television segments, such as “Stepping Out With Barbarella” on NBC San Diego News in the Morning, and the weekly 5 Questions with Barbarella that aired on NBC’s California Nonstop channel. She writes for the San Diego Reader, from lengthy news features to fluffy food reviews. Her column, “Diary of a Diva,” has appeared in the Reader every week since 2004. Now these are the basis for a new book.
For a fraction of what it would cost to attend a class or two, the San Diego Writers, Ink (SDWI) is offering a full weekend of classes, workshops, and parties at the third annual Fall For Writing Conference. The pre-registration cost is $120 for members or $140 for non-members for up to 10 sessions. At the door it’s $5 more for each or $25 a class. Membership is $35 a year. SDWI is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
