Writing Conferences and Events In and Around Arkansas

Late summer and fall is writing time in and around Arkansas. Here are a few of the upcoming events:

The White County Creative Writers Conference is September 1st. Deadline to register is August 25. Deadline to enter the contests has already passed.
The Arkansas SCBWI will have a retreat October 5-7 in Fort Smith, AR. An agent will be at this retreat. The deadline to register is September 7, but this fills up quickly, so register early if you’re interested. This is primarily for members of the organization, but I think non-members can register for an additional cost.
The Ozark Creative Writers Conference is October 11-13. Deadline to enter the contests is August 31, but you can still register for the conference after that date. There will be an agent at the conference taking pitches (but you have to sign up for those early to get a spot).
October 20 is Poetry Day. The deadline to enter the contests has already passed, but you can still attend the event in Benton, AR. It is sponsored by the Poets Roundtable of Arkansas.
November 6 is the Ozarks Writers League Conference in Branson, MO. Deadline to enter contests is September 1. I think you have to be a member to participate.

Happy writing!
