The South Florida Writers Association (SFWA) is proud to announce the speakers for its 2025 Mango Writers Conference, Writing From The Ground To The Moon, taking place on Saturday, February 22nd at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant from 9am – 4pm.
Featured speakers will present a captivating lineup of topics ranging from the triumph and challenges of a paraplegic athlete turned Paralympian competitor in Anita Mitchell’s God Took My Arms But Gave Me This Gift, to the cosmic accomplishment of some of SFWA’s very own writers in the poetry anthology; Sea of Tranquility which will join 250,000 cultural artifacts from around the world in a digitized payload delivered to the moon, presented by Mort Laitner.
“The Mango Conference goal is to throw mangoes and rockets at writers. The mangoes to invigorate their writing, the rockets to dare they dream. Visitors will meet both creative and non-fiction writers with decades of experience. Worthwhile for any who even so much as glanced at a pen!” said SFWA president Giancarlo Diago Cevallos.
