Whidbey Island Writers Conference

Whidbey Island Writers Conference

 

Creative Interaction ... Enriching Environment ... Opportunity

Tenth Annual Conference • February 29 - March 2, 2008
Choice
is the operative word at this uniquely personal conference:

• Join a small group in a friendly home setting for our Fireside Chats. Interact with three published authors or spend the day in an intensive workshop with one presenter.

• Immerse yourself in learning and nurture your talent at informative classes and hands-on intensive workshops. Attend a panel discussion where agents and editors share inside details, divulge what they are looking for, and offer important how-to's in our Skill Building Sessions and Workshops.

• Pre-register for Agent/Editor Consultations. Participate in small inspiring critiquing sessions led by experienced authors.

Dine with an author Friday evening. Enjoy conversation and fine dining with a small group of writers.

Savor the opportunity to hear from acclaimed, award-winning authors, poets, and scriptwriters. Travel in your imagination, laugh with comedy writers, connect with other aspiring writers.

Whatever format you choose, you benefit from the knowledge and experience of exceptional instructors, agents, and editors representing a variety of genres: fiction, non-fiction, children's books, playwriting and poetry. Focus on developing skills in the genre of your choice or delve into the diversity offered.

Nestled in Washington's Puget Sound, Whidbey Island is a special blend of rural and cultural charm--a writer's perfect getaway. Whidbey Island not only provides spectacular ocean and mountain views, it benefits from more sun and less rain than Seattle and nearby Everett.
