If you need help or tips for writing, a session is scheduled at the Richmond ALER Conference called "Mentoring ALER Writers." 

If you submit a draft of a paper, research project, or grant proposal at least six weeks before the conference (by September 23), you will receive feedback on the manuscript at the conference, and be paired with a panel member to discuss the feedback.

Please send a draft of the manuscript on which you wish to receive feedback to: Karen Bromley, kbromley@binghamton.edu, by September 23, 2011. 

Then, attend the session "Mentoring ALER Writers" in Richmond to hear tips from each panel member and meet your mentor to discuss your manuscript. ALER’s 2011 Conference will be held at the Omni Richmond Hotel in Richmond, VA, from November 3 to 6. Visit http://www.aleronline.org/conference.html for more information.
