I love this for them.

We have room for 50 attendees and approximately 20 spots left. Email us at [email protected] if you'd like to attend or share with someone who'd like to attend.

This isn't about the fluff but the information and Q&As. So, if you're attending, bring your notebook, your pointed questions (uh...no 'I have a comment, not a question), and, more importantly, get to know the people attending the conference for future collaborations.

- and that means bringing these wonderful people to our club so they can impart their knowledge and, if you're ready, a chance to shoot your shot.
The conference fee is $150 (which, by the way, helps keep this club going), and the schedule is tight.

Now, for the first time, we're holding our first conference on April 12th from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m!

MetaFEST is an all-day conference for aspiring writers, directors, producers, showrunners, and development exes.
Our goal at the Metaphor Club is to shrink access and privilege

Joan Morgan, Amy Aniobi, Anthony Sparks, Brittney Cooper, Chanel Craft Tanner, Susana Morris, Walter Mosley, Damon Young, Michael Harriot, Jemele Hill, Kadir Nelson, Kwame Alexander, Kemp Powers, Raynelle Swilling, Saladin McCullough, Franklin Leonard, Korin Williams, Selwyn Hinds, Michelle Amor...

The sister who hosted it should get the chance to host it!

This workshop covers everything from the book idea to the bookshelf. It's a three-hour workshop, so be prepared to hear me for a while. LOL
The cost is $50. If you'd like to attend, email me at [email protected]. Feel free to share.

When he said that he'd just thought of what he was gonna say that morning, that's when a best friend should have stepped in and said, "then don't say that shit. you haven't thought this thing through.'

When I first ate a Marie Calender pot pie, I felt rich. LOL
