Our nationally acclaimed presenters provide a wealth of information on the art and business of book, song and film writing.

Publicity coach, Pam Perry (www.MinistryMarketingSolutions.com), will share her expertise on powerful marketing techniques. Chicago attorney, Avalon Betts-Gaston, will delve into the legal aspects of arts and entertainment. Essence best-selling author, Kendra Norman-Bellamy, explains the crucial steps of publishing. Local presenters include Dr. Marva L. Mitchell (www.MarvaMitchellMinistries.org) of Revival Center Ministries, International and the award-winning trio, Christopher (www.MySpace.com/SpiritualRealSoul).
The weekend event begins with the Prose, Rhythm and Praise Party on Friday, October 3, 2008 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Dayton Cultural and RTA Transit Center. The public is invited to enjoy live music, spoken word, hors d’oeuvres, an on-site bookstore and exhibitors.
