Our multi-genre conference encourages participants to attend writing workshops and craft classes in all genres, regardless of the focus of their own writing. Since many of our conference faculty themselves are cross-genre writers, participants have a unique opportunity to ask questions and learn more about cross-genre writing.
Although conference workshops are open only to conference registrants, please note afternoon readings are free and open to the public.
Readings will take place from 1-2 pm in the Stedman Gallery, located in the Fine Arts Building unless otherwise stated.
