Fifteen applicants whose talent warrants being heard by industry
professionals will be chosen to attend this excellent learning and
networking opportunity. It will begin on Friday Oct 18th at 6:00 PM with an

treated to a show at The Bluebird Cafe featuring hit writers Don Schlitz,
Fred Knobloch and Thom Schuyler. There will. be a Saturday morning, a
Saturday afternoon and a Sunday morning session, each attended by two
different publishers. Every writer will get a chance to play one song and
receive feedback at each session. Saturday night any writer who wishes will
be scheduled to perform at a local writers night.

So far commitments have been received from Scott Gunter of Almo Irving
Music, Chris Oglesby of BMG Publishing, Rusty Gaston of Song Garden Music,
Jerry Smith of Smith Haven Music and Bobby Cottle of Welk Music. (As soon as
the final publisher has confirmed the name will be posted at

will also be attending because they are always eager to discover great new
writers.
