Hey New Yorkers, See You This Weekend!

Hey New Yorkers! (NYC writers that is):

If you haven't already signed up for this REALLY inexpensive and worthwhile conference sponsored by The Council of Literary Magazines and Small Presses (CLMP), I think there's still room available AND, if you say you are a Mira's List fan, you get 20% off! Here's what the website says about the conference:

NOVEMBER 12-13, 2010 } A two-day conference for fiction, poetry, and creative-nonfiction writers learning how to maneuver in the marketplace. Meet writers, editors, agents, publicists and publishers from Publishers Weekly, Oxford University Press, Scribner, Hachette Book Group, Graywolf, the Poetry Society of America, Bloomsbury, Knopf, the Academy of American Poets and more.

I will be on a panel this Saturday from 3 to 4:30 with these amazing folks: Elliot Figman, poet and Executive Director of Poets & Writers and Jeffrey Lependorf, composer, writer and CLMP's Executive Director. We will be talking about grants and awards, book contests and artist colonies.

The conference will be held here:
The New School
Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Building
66 W. 12 St.
New York, NY 10011

Please visit the website to see if there's still room for you at the conference! And if you come and are a ML fan, please come up and say hi after my panel. I'd love to meet you. See you in New York!

Love,
Mirabee

Welcome to Mira's List

This blog provides information on upcoming grants, fellowships and residencies for artists, writers, composers, and media artists. It is for serious professionals only, from emerging to mid-career to established. I also publish information for graduate students from time to time. However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money. At least that is my current policy. For more info on where to exhibit or publish, please see my links section which I try to periodically update. I sift through hundreds of search engines and websites to find opportunities for YOU dear artist. In return, I ask you to pass the information along to those who need it. Also, since this is a free blog, I don't always have the time to weed carefully through everything. If you find a grant or website or residency that is not up-to-date, is dodgy in some way, or is no longer in existence, please let me know! Also, if you stay somewhere at one of the residencies I suggest and have a good experience, I want that feedback too. Please check my FAQs at the top right side bar if you have questions before starting your search. Best wishes and happy hunting!
