Registration is open for the second annual Conversations and Connections Conference:
Join us on April 5, 2008 in Washington, DC for a different kind of writer’s conference.
The Second Annual Conversations and Connections will help you get the connections and information you need to take your writing — and publishing — to the next level.
This year’s keynote speaker is Mary Gaitskill, author of the novels Veronica and Two Girls, Fat and Thin, and the story collections Because They Wanted To and Bad Behavior.
Our panelists are experts in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, writing for children, making connections, using the web, marketing, and everything in between. Over 30 literary magazines will be represented. Get the real deal straight from the editor’s mouth: your $45 registration fee includes the full day conference, plus face-to-face “speed dating” with literary magazine editors, a subscription to the lit mag of your choice, and a book by featured speakers.

Full schedule, with breakout sessions and panelist information, coming soon!
