CONFERENCES, ETC.

 

There are many conferences, workshops, seminars and retreats for the working writer. I can’t list them all nor give wise advice on which ones are most worth visiting, but I have attended the West Chester Poetry Conference and found it good. I also recommend the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival, UPenn Writer’s Conference, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and Ghost Ranch Conference Center. Links are below:
