President's Corner
I am excited to announce that the Board approved a new corporate logo for Authors of The Flathead. You can see the new logo on our Meetup.com page. It will soon appear on your Facebook page, other social media sights and here on our web page.
The logo was the work of member Lorraine Clark who also designed a logo for our 28th annual Flathead River Writers Conference and gave our conference brochure a fresh new look. Be sure to thank Lorraine when you see her. Whatever your graphic design needs are whether print or online including website design Lorraine has a wealth of experience.
Preparation for the Writers conference is in full swing and registration will open soon. We have an exciting lineup of speakers including AOF’s own Dennis Foley. Remember that paid members get a two-week head start on signing up to have your work critiqued. This year you can choose between an agent or an editor, but there are only twelve slots with each.
