HURST, Texas - s4story -- The Editorial Freelancers Association will be exhibiting once again at the Dallas-Fort Worth Writers Conference October 8-9. Stop by our booth to introduce yourself and learn more about the benefits of EFA membership or about hiring the right freelancer for your project through our Member Directory and Job List! DFWCon will take place at the Hurst Conference Center, in the heart of the DFW Metroplex.

"We're thrilled to be back at DFWCon," says Kristen Tate, EFA Events chairperson. "This is a wonderful event for all types of writers, from the traditionally published to indie authors. We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new friends!"

DFWCon is put on by the DFW Writers' Workshop, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping writers of all genres and experience levels produce and promote professionally published work. A highlight of this year's festival will be The Query Gong game show, hosted by horror writer Russell C. Connor, which will feature a panel of agents who will listen as anonymous query letters are read aloud and then gong them at the point they would stop reading. The agents will then explain why the letters were gonged. The conference will also feature lectures, panels, and interactive workshops, along with plenty of opportunities to network and mingle.
