From Jamie: "Folks, this one is really near and dear to my heart — and right in my own backyard. Having been a long-standing member of Pennwriters since 1993, I can tell you that these people put together events you won't want to miss. The speakers, many of them who are multi-published, are friendly and open to conversation. The class sizes are not overwhelming, allowing for ease in asking questions. This mini-conference (the large, statewide one is held in May each year) has three tracks, a wide variety of teachers and speakers, and, of course, ME! So if you've been wanting to learn more about writing and publication, please check out this event."
Here's what I will be teaching this year. I test taught this class in Meadville last year and left the participants excited about what they learned:

Join Jamie in two workshop opportunities during this multi-genre, multi-track mini-conference event:
1. Drive Down Memory Lane: 4 Ways to Make Your Memoir Profitable: Are you writing a memoir? Unless you're a celebrity, sports star or other well-known personality, you may find sales slump without these few important keys to writing, publishing, and marketing your life's story. During this workshop, Jamie will call upon her years of design experience in the print-on-demand field to share ways memoir writing can be more profitable. You’ll want to know these valuable tips before you publish your book as knowing even one of these vital points could gain you tremendously in sales. Included in this informative class will be a) tips on how your story can be turned into multiple books; b) where the biggest dollars are for memoir sales; and c) how to ensure you’re targeting the right buyers when writing.
2. Driving Home the Sale: Are you selling books (art, products, or services) and engaging potential buyers in a profitable way? Do you want to avoid sounding like that annoying used-car salesman who’s pawning off his lemon? (I know you do!) In this interactive class, you’ll create a road map to selling success. Jamie will show you how to engage clients in a way that will have them doing the selling for you and keep them coming back for more. You’ll learn how to write website copy and social media comments that attract the right clientele to the books or other items you want to sell. You’ll learn the three types of customers you want to attract (and the one you don’t).

Perhaps you have written stories but feel you need to improve your characterization.

Rev. Jamie L. Saloff will be speaking on Why Do I Feel Like an Ugly Duckling When I'm Really a Swan? Learn how secrets hidden in Hans Christian Andersen’s Ugly Duckling fairy tale reveal how to master your life and empower your past, including: Why you sometimes get the urge to run away from everything and everyone (and may even have a list of what to take); Why you may have felt as if you were adopted growing up (but probably weren’t); Why you may continually fight with chronic ailments; Why you struggle to make decisions; Why you may be a driven workaholic, shopaholic, Internet addict, movie addict, or even an alcoholic or drug addict; Why you may carry extra weight and can’t drop those 20-30-40 pounds or more; Why you may have had suicidal thoughts, particularly as an adolescent; Why you aren’t afraid to dress or act differently from others; And why your unusual childhood is so important now.
Learn how to turn these “symptoms” into tools that can transform your life now–instantly. They are all entwined within a children’s story you may have read growing up, fondly remembered, but never fully comprehended its implications toward YOUR life. You too can be transformed into a swan if you: Surrender to the calling of your heart; Be Willing to take the first steps forward. Become Aware of the doors opening all around you. Never doubt that you are here for a reason. During the call, Jamie will talk about the Swan’s transformation and offer 3 keys to making it happen.
