8. Save the date! March 16th 2013: Lawrence R. Berger will be presenting His seminar entitled " The Multi-million Dollar Poetry Industry". A ruffly two hour seminar covering the seven markets in which you CAN earn a living in the 7.1 Billion ( Yes, you read that right! That's Billion with a B!) US Poetry industry ( While as a poet and poetry promoter himself, Mr. Berger has geared this presentation twords writers in that genre ( However, after having worked with other types of writers over the past 8 years as well He's found that the markets covered in this seminar are exactly the same for all other types of writing including Journalist, Technical and Self Help Writer's, short story and children's authors , Novelists , Historians , Playwrights, screenwriters and all others would most likely benefit and are welcome to attend! Fair warning though, The 7.1 Billion Dollar figure does only apply to the opportunities open in the poetry genre. Add in everything else and I'm sorry but I simply can't count high enough to give an accurate figure!) Thanks to Comedian Dana Snow for the title of this presentation. The event starts at 3:00 p.m. EST on Saturday March 16th, 2013 and will be held at : Gallery One Fine Arts 2575 East Henrietta Road Rochester, NY 14623 (Behind Suburban Liquor . next to the Beers of the World Plaza!) for directions call the gallery at (585) 230-1081 there will be a $25 fee for this presentation.
