Last week I talked about the importance of a writers conference and how to pick one. This
week I want to highlight some of my favorites.
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should get
you started.
As you’re looking at these, I recommend you take note of
whether or not they offer critiques (paid or unpaid) and/or contests. Both of
these are great avenues to advance your craft and experience.

And if you’re looking for more of a retreat setting, I
highly recommend the events at My Book Therapy. Susan May Warren and her team
of book doctors do a fantastic job of teaching and I can’t recommend this group
enough.
There are also many other conferences – large and small. Now
it’s your time, what are some of your favorites?
Don’t forget to join the conversation!
Blessings,
Edie
