Austin SCBWI Working Conference: March 7/8 Lodging Specials
Will you be attending the 2015 Austin SCBWI Working Conference on March 7th and 8th being held at the South Austin Marriott–about a ten to fifteen minute drive from The Writing Barn?
Are you traveling with writing friends or your critique group? Would you like to decompress at the end of the conference day around the fire pit with other writers? Would you like to extend your stay in Austin and put what you learned at the conference to work right away? Would you like to admire the signatures on the party porch–or if traditionally published leave your autograph to inspire other writers and illustrators?
If the answer is YES to any of those questions, come stay with us at The Cabin or The Book House. We will run lodging specials March 6 -10.
The Cabin, which sleeps 3 will rent for $185 a night., tax and cleaning fee included. (This is best for a critique group or 3 friends traveling together.)
The Book House rooms will rent individually:
The Newbery, Caldecott, and Printz--each with 2 single beds and en suite private bath, will rent for $110, tax and cleaning fee included. These rooms may be double occupancy or single.
The Booker and Pulitzer–each with two comfortable double beds and en suite private baths, will rent for $160, tax and cleaning fee included. These rooms may be double occupancy or single.
To reserve your room at The Writing Barn during this time, please email info@thewritingbarn.com. Payments may be made via check or credit card (a 3% cc fee is added).
Don’t miss the great faculty at this year’s event: Bethany Hegedus, Writing Barn Founder/Owner and Author will be speaking at the conference and giving critiques.
