CityLit Project executive director Gregg Wilhelm spoke to nearly eighty writers at the thirteenth annual Bay to Ocean Writers Conference.  The annual February gathering, held for the last several years at Chesapeake College near Easton, attracted a record attendance approaching 200 people.  Gregg discussed the changing publishing landscape given new technology, new marketing tools like FaceBook and Twitter, and how to have the right expectations for the best publishing experience possible.

BTO is a nonprofit, volunteer-run conference sponsored by the Eastern Shore Writers Association. Our mission is to inform, encourage, and inspire writers and help them unravel the mysteries of the ever-changing publishing business.

BTO is dedicated to the legacy of Gilbert Byron (1903-1991), who did more to capture the unique ambience of the Eastern Shore than any other writer in his time. To learn more about Gilbert Byron's novels, poetry, and essays and the museum celebrating his life, visit the Web site of the Pickering Creek Audubon Center.
