This might feel a little bit like posting one of those haul videos to the Internet, but Sherpa returned from last week’s Sangria Summit: A Military Writers’ Conference in Denver, Colo. with a rucksack heavy with books, a notebook full of ideas, and a pocket stuffed with names, numbers, and email addresses of new collaborators.

James and Bill Burns, along with the Summit staff, Isaac Cubillos, Rachel Hario and Victoria Camey, give a generous thank you to all the presenters and participants who attended the Summit earlier this month, in Denver.

Besides the presentations, there were many new professional relationships that formed, and are developing online via social media sites. This was what we hoped would happen. The annual Summit is not just about learning about the craft of writing and promoting a book, but also bringing together people to share ideas, stories, and fostering encouragement. We think we did that.

Bar none, the two venues, the Denver Marriott City Center and the Denver Press Club, provided exceptional services, and we wish to thank the staffs of those to establishments for their support.

Now, we are moving ahead for the Second Annual Sangria Summit scheduled for May 4-5, 2013, in Denver. The annual event will take place each May with workshops in other parts of the country. We already have commitments from presenters, and we’ll provide more information at a later date.

Again, thanks to all who were at our inaugural event.
