Best Western Longbranch
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
9-4 p.m.
(Check in is from 9-9:30 a.m.)

This time we will be offering a morning session on digital and 35 mm photography. Denny Eilers, a successful freelance writer and photographer from Luana, Iowa will be leading a session on how and where to sell your photos, how much to charge for freelance photography work, how to query for these projects, and how to use photography to enhance your written work. 
 
Denny has a marketing background, and has been "his own boss" for many years. He's worked on many commercial projects including work for John Deere and the magazine, Our Iowa. He brings with him tons of experience and a great sense of humor.
 
He'll help participants down the path to their own success in this field by giving them pointers and little known facts about the process of using digital and 35mm photography with written work.
