It's hard to explain the magic that happens during the Antioch Writers' Workshop, so we'll let AWW alumni do it! Our first guest post is from Deborah Rocheleau.
I took a writing class at Sinclair Community College this spring, all online, so that I never met my professor. Until I signed up for the Antioch Writer's Workshop. When I began researching writing opportunities in my area, I found a surprising amount of overlap in the writing community. My teacher, Rebecca Morean, not only ran the scholarship contest I'd entered, but was on the board of the Antioch Writer's Workshop. At the conference, I met my teacher, but I also got to be a student along with her of the other speakers. Writers of all ages and experiences meet at the conference to learn from each other and offer their own advice and encouragement. For ongoing opportunities, participants can exchange contact information, learn about college writing programs and calls for submissions, follow blogs and Facebook pages, and join writers' groups all across Ohio. I now have a group of local writers I can go to for critique and support, as well as to provide my own feedback and encouragement. And the best part of the conference, the opportunity to network with other writers, is the part that doesn't end with the week.

The story became Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, a book about what a misbehaving dog meant to his family. A touchstone for people worldwide, the book grew into a runaway #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 3 million copies in print in 30 languages. Made into a movie starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, the book is now part of Grogan's engaging and inspirational conversation about family, loyalty, optimism, and what really matters in life. Grogan now also writes a children's book series called The Marley Series. A new dvd for children titled Marly & Me: The Puppy Years was released in 2011.
Grogan has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, CBS' The Early Show, National Geographic Channel's The Dog Whisperer, and in The New York Times, USA Today, and People magazine. Following the release of the film, Grogan was also featured in a P.S.A. for the American Kennel Club in which he discussed responsible dog ownership.
In his popular appearances he shares what his mischievous dog taught him about patience, constancy and acceptance, "that commitment matters and that 'in good times and bad, in sickness and health' really means something."
Grogan's latest New York Times bestseller is The Longest Trip Home. Publishers Weekly called it "a hilarious and touching memoir of his childhood."
