Mosaic Literary Conference 2009

Request For Proposals
The Mosaic Literary Conference (formerly known as Re:Verse) provides a platform for literature-based creative thinking and knowledge sharing. Each year we invite educators, arts organizations, and parents to participate. MLC is presented by The Literary Freedom Project, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt not-for-profit arts organization that supports the literary arts through education, creative thinking, and new media.
MLC invites proposals for workshops focused on the literary arts, literacy, and reading comprehension, and how educators and parents can incorporate these subjects to increase the adoption of reading as a tool for understanding of culture, history, and social studies.

Deadline is September 29, 2008. Email proposals to Felicia Pride,  felicia@thebacklist.net.
