The conference includes a free day of workshops and readings. Workshops on writing poetry, fiction, personal essays and journalism will be offered in this intensive program, which is open to the community.
Participants can receive an evaluation of their writing from the guest authors.
In order to have their work considered, writers should submit 35 copies of a typed, double-spaced manuscript by Monday, March 19. Since workshop space is limited, early enrollment is advised. Participants may attend more than one workshop, but may only submit work in one. Advance registration is required for the workshops and meals, but not for the readings. One essay, chapter or chapter and outline, maximum 12 pages.
