Cover. Michael Dektas. Pictures, by Richard Wolters. Photojournalism, once the breath of Life, is dead. Before the advancing front of television and Madison Avenue, magazines have retreated from shattering photo-essays to one-shot scoops. But the writer can still profit from making the principles of photojournalism his own. Confessions of a Writers' Conference Director, by Robert W. Mitchner. Life is not all tinsel and tranquillity at a writers' conference. For the director, it's work. Hard work. Coping with mildewed manuscripts. Hordes of trembling writers. Fledglings and dilettantes and nymphomaniacs and ... well, WD asked Robert Mitchner to Tell All. And the 20-year veteran of one of the nation's leading writers' conferences tells it with delight and disbelief. Other workshops in this issue include Directions for Conference Directors (page 18)--with tips on the care and feeding of writers; To Sir, With Ten Commandments (page 19)--lessons for conference instructors; and WD's annual Writers' Conferences roundup (page 44)-=a Yellow Pages for conference-goers.

Ya gotta believe. The Writer's Digest Interview: Bob Thomas, by John Brady. "A late colleague of mine, Hal Boyle, always swore that he would write a book and call it You Can't Wrap Fish in This!" says Thomas, the AP's man in Hollywood for 32 years. "I think all newspapermen are aware of the ephemeral nature of their craft, and want to write something which lasts a little longer." Thus, Thomas has pieced together, in gumshoe fashion, the lives of five entertainment giants. Along the way he has interviewed a cast of thousands. The Markets. National Geographic is no longer a closed port to freelancers, reports senior markets editor Doug Sandhage. And you needn't trot 'round the globe to nail down a story. "Any good idea about the U.S. will receive priority consideration," says an NG staff editor. Elsewhere in The Markets this month is a special report by William Dunn on Connecticut Book Publishers (page 40)--a veritable suite of mirkets in the Nutmegger State. Elsewhere:. Contests & Awards.
