As always, lots of helpful information given about a subject every writer is interested in.
Thanks especially for the detailed list of conferences available from the home state to international destinations-if only we could attend them all!

Hi Mikalya,

I wish I could, but there are so many! It depends on what you want to learn, who you want to learn it from, how you want to learn it (panel presentations? hands on workshops?), how far you’re willing to travel, etc. There are some good options in the link in the blog post, though!

Have not yet attended such a conference so your tips should prove helpful when I do.

In reply to Jean Murray.

Good point, Jean — thanks! When you’re looking at options, it’s important to know if you want to sit and take notes, or whether you want to work and participate. I agree with you that while they’re very different, they both have value. I suppose one is more of a conference and the other is more of a workshop, right?
