Being invited to read your creative work at a conference is a huge feather in your literary cap. This workshop offers information, guidance, and strategies for writers wishing to have their work accepted at a writers' conference, whether virtual or in-person. This workshop is open to writers of all levels who feel prepared to present their work at a professional writers' conference. Learn how to:
- choose the right writers' conference for you
- prepare a polished submission
- make a professional impression from submission to attendance
- secure financial support to attend
- practice conference etiquette: the do's and dont's of both applying and attending
- avoid common, costly mistakes in your CV and bio that mark you as an amateur
We will be engaging in hands-on research and working on our literary resumes. Participants completing this workshop will be prepared to select and prepare submissions for several literary conferences and have leads on finding funding to support travel. Registration is now open!
