C is for Conferences

 
So … you want to be a writer? Where do you start? How do you get there? No worries. This month I’ll be sharing my A to Z list of writer’s resources: books, blogs, and beyond! Check back each day to find helpful resources for improving your writing and navigating your way through the publishing industry.


C is for Conferences

Writers' conferences are a huge resource for information, networking, and pitching. Agents, editors, publishers, and fellow writers attend these conferences to teach and learn from each other. The first conference you attend is likely to be quite overwhelming (it was for me), but I also learned a lot, got my hopes up a lot, and made friends a lot. Chances are, there's a great local conference near you.

Simply go to Google, type in your state, writer conference, and see what pops up on your screen.

And if you think you're too much of an introvert to ever attend such a public event, then WriteOnCon is for you!! This is an awesome writers' online conference: WriteOnCon

Have you ever attended a conference - - or want to attend a conference? Which one?
