Point South Mexico - Real Estate and Lifestyle Magazine

In my time I've met plenty of  "writing conference junkies" - those folks who'll go to any seminar that might help them finally figure out what stands between them and publishing stardom.  I'm not one of them.  I pick my workshops and conferences carefully, paying attention to the level of both the speakers and the participants.  One of those that I particularly enjoyed was the San Francisco Writers Conference.  It was held in a beautiful hotel, attended by hundreds of writers, agents, and publishers and I had an opportunity to meet and spend time with some of the leading lights of the USA publishing world.  So, when friends down here told me that Lake Chapala had its own annual writer's conference, I was naturally a little skeptical. Years ago I'd attended a small-town workshop led by a wannabee-writer and an agent who was begging for clients, and it wasn't an experience I cared to repeat.
