It frustrates me that so often the conferences or seminars I want to attend are either in NY or LA. Don’t writers write near New Orleans or Atlanta anymore? Or am I just not seeing these opportunities (quite likely) Please, Southern writers, especially those interested in writing for young adults, speak up! I’d love to hear more of about that gap between childhood to young adult. (PS thanks for posting this even though I can not attend)
Leslie- Are you a member of SCBWI? The two giant conferences are always in NY and LA. But regional branches of SCBWI offer smaller conferences regularly.
Also, I have scheduled (to post in a few weeks) another blog post about the Kentucky Women Writers Conference. And I regularly search for conferences in other areas of the country. I will keep my eye out for ones in the south particularly! Thanks for the comment!
