If you’ve been thinking about attending the Backspace Writers Conference, they’ve got a very few spaces left—you’ll want to secure your spot ASAP. The Agent/Author Seminar is May 27, 2010, and the Writers Conference runs May 28-29, 2010, at NYC’s Radisson Martinique on 32nd and Broadway.
If you’re thinking about it but still dithering, you might consider browsing their FAQ to see whether or not this is a good fit for your current writing level, goals, and needs. Or take a look at some of the scheduled events, and the list of agents attending the May Backspace Writers Conference.
The Backspace Writers Conference is one of the handful of events I’d recommend without hesitation to anyone who has reached that writing level where they’re ready to take that next important networking step.

Artists Against Arizona’s SB 1070
We believe, the decision by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to sign into law the poorly conceived immigration measure SB1070, marks a new low in the fight to protect civil liberties in The United States. This law allows any officer of the law at the state, county, or city level in Arizona to determine the legal immigration status of anyone at anytime, among other provisions, including making it a crime to be in Arizona illegally.
Millions of people everywhere believe it will lead to rampant racial profiling, particularly against people of Latino/a heritage. President Obama has called it “misguided.” Furthermore, immigration is a national issue and the state of Arizona has no constitutional role in determining who has legal status in this country.
We are calling on members of the worldwide artistic community—whether visual, performing, literary or other discipline—to boycott the state of Arizona in opposition to this unjust legislation, for as long as it remains on the books. We ask artists to not perform, produce, present, appear or conduct business in Arizona so that lawmakers there understand that the rest of the country disapproves, so they will feel the economic impact of their bad decision. We call on talent agents, managers, publicists, unions and associations to also support this effort and the artists they represent who choose to join.
We also call on fans and supporters of the arts to contact their favorite performers and artists and encourage them to participate in this boycott. Fans can also show their support for the boycott by writing to Arizona Governor Brewer, and by supporting their favorite artists when they make appearances in other states.
The artistic community has a natural role to play in commenting and responding to social issues. Now more than ever the time is right to act.
