A Writers Guide to Conferencing


by Cindy Sproles @CindyDevoted

It’s conference time across the country, and that means preparation. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I’m going to share some things about my first conference ever. The conference was great. Don’t get me wrong. But poor me—so green you couldn’t snap me in half if you tried.

In all fairness to me, I’d never attended a conference before. Not just a writers conference but any conference. You have to remember, I’m a mountain gal, and though I’m not stuffed into the crevice of a mountain fold, I wasn’t exposed to a lot of outside events like conferences. You could say I was naive. So, attending my first conference was a true learning experience.
