LWH: Who will help me put on a nonfiction conference?
Famous Conference Crow: Not I. We already have a nonfiction conference that works great without chickens.
Local Writing Organization Owl: Not I. Our fiction conference uses all of our volunteers. We cannot do two.
Foxy Conference Promoter: Not I. You are a chicken. I am a fox. You know what that means.
LWH: Fine, then I will do it myself!
And she did. Little White Hen called her conference NF 4 NF, "Nonfiction for the Nicely Feathered". She decided to have it October 9 - 12, 2014, in Texas, because that state is definitely for the birds. Little White Hen found some friendly fowl who were terrific writers of True Things. They were delighted to help pencil-wise poultry make the switch to nonfiction.

LWH: Will you help me put on a nonfiction conference?
