(All speakers confirmed subject to availability.)

9:30 am: FOR LOVE OR MONEY: THE PASSION PROJECT: Panel
Is there a place in todayÃÂ¢s climate for the ÃÂ¢passion project?ÃÂ¢ What are the options for a writer with such a project? Is passion enough? How can one tell if oneÃÂ¢s project has legs? How does one keep it alive? Who can help along the way?

11:30 am: CASE STUDIES: Breakout groups
Writers will talk about passion projects that they have managed to get made. What was the journey? What worked? What didnÃÂ¢t? What would they do differently? (Projects to be advised.)

2:30 pm: WHATÃÂ¢S YOUR PASSION? Breakout groups
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss in general terms a project they are working on, and get advice from the group leaders.*

4:30 pm: FOR LOVE OR MONEY: MAKING A LIVING AS A WRITER: Panel
Can one make a living with passion projects? Or how does one survive while getting oneÃÂ¢s passion project made? Can one follow oneÃÂ¢s heart and still survive as a writer? Is there a balance to be found? Does one write what one loves or love what one writes? What are the survival tricks our panelists have learned over the years?
