Synopsis

This comprehensive directory of writers' conferences and workshops gives authors of all types easy access to those being held in the United States and Canada starting in 1996. Included are entries from more than 40 states and provinces; each entry offers practical information about where, when, and how the workshops and conferences are given. Conferences are listed for all writers, from screenwriters to children's writers, and the text includes important details about marketing, agents and editors, and also about contests and scholarships.
Of added interest are the author's interviews with six directors of writers' conferences, who tell how and why they came to be involved, and what special characteristics their conferences offer; and a short history of the modern writers' conference, beginning with the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in 1926, which shows how the idea has grown and changed and exploded during the past 70 years.
