  1. Hi,

    I wondered if there is a schedule of times that each presenter will have his or her workshop at the March 12, 2016 Writers of Kern Conference. Is that available online before Saturday, March 12? How do participants access that information? I have not received any flyers or web messages yet.

    Thank you for your assistance.
