Conversations and Connections brings together an eclectic mix of writers and editors for an all-day conference in the heart of Philadelphia. Whether you’re an experienced writer looking to take the next step, a newcomer looking for the coolest small presses, or anybody else sending your writing out into the world, Conversations and Connections has the panel discussions, craft workshops, and feedback (actual interaction with actual editors!) you need to hone your work.
Conversations and Connections features three separate workshop/panel sessions of one hour each. Topics are split between fiction, poetry, essay/memoir, mixed-genre, and getting your stuff published. We try to make sure there’s something for the beginning writer, as well as those of you who are a little further along in your writing careers.
We're thrilled to welcome keynote Stewart O'Nan, author of thirteen novels, including A Prayer for the Dying, Last Night at the Lobster, and Emily, Alone.
