The Puerto Vallarta Writers Group has arranged an interesting weekend for writers and would-be scribes March 17–19 at the International Friendship Club. Keynote speaker Jeffrey Marks, whose fiction and non-fiction background is ideal for the diverse audience expected, has numerous awards and titles to his credit, including "The Scent of Murder," "Who Was That Lady," and "Intent to Sell: Marketing the Genre Novel." Along with lectures and guidance on the craft of writing, working with editors, finding an agent, and how to market your book once it's in print, there will be question and answer sessions, cocktail receptions, a buffet dinner and a book fair featuring this town's many published authors.
