Comments on: Who’s Scared of a Little Ole Conference? http://www.routinesforwriters.com/2009/03/23/whos-scared-of-a-little-ol-conference/ helping writers write more Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:10:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kitty Bucholtz http://www.routinesforwriters.com/2009/03/23/whos-scared-of-a-little-ol-conference/comment-page-1/#comment-764 Kitty Bucholtz Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:29:32 +0000 http://www.routinesforwriters.com/?p=1057#comment-764 Anon - almost all conferences have different classes and "tracks" for all levels. Most will make a point of offering beginning classes because beginners will always be a part of the target market. I would suggest an Internet search, and I strongly suggest asking people - like you're doing. Of the conferences I've attended, the Glorieta Christian Writers Conference in NM is excellent, several of the RWA regional conferences are excellent, and the RWA National Conference is awesome! I haven't attended the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference, but all my friends who go rave about it. We'll be talking writing retreats next week and I'll give you some of my favorites in that category then. :) Anon – almost all conferences have different classes and “tracks” for all levels.

The Shaw Guide, Writer's Digest's Writer Mart, Sally Stuart's Guide are a few I know of, but there are plenty more. I can't attend conferences very often, so don't know all that are available (drooling in front of the candy store when I had no money was not something I ever enjoyed LOL). I'm sure Kitty and Shonna will have more to share later in the week. If you google “writer conferences” you will get plenty of leads.
