Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will obtain feedback from editors/publishers at the conference and use it to gain progress in my craft. I also intend to gain prospectives from teachers as I read in their classrooms during the month of February. I am so excited to further my writing career with the addition of a new book. The addition of a website will help me reach out to even more people as I promote the arts. I truly wish to sharpen my skills as a writer and editor of my own works as I attend a writing conference. My writing goal for the conference is to learn advanced editing skills to improve my writing.
