Facilitators: Amy Rose, Ken Wachsberger, The National Writers Union

At a time when print publications are faltering and the Internet is perpetually hungry for content, writers are more in demand than ever. Yet payment for writing becomes ever harder to come by under the Internet mantra that “information wants to be free.”What’s a professional writer to do? In this caucus, two veteran freelance writers and members of the National Writers Union will lead a discussion about about legislation, court cases, and the practical realities of the marketplace. They will also talk about what the NWU does to help members with the business of writing.
Location: The Cass Cafe, 4620 Cass Ave
