From great mystery writers to great history writers to peace activists to psychologists to humorists, the 2012 writers conference brings the reservoirs of our past and future into focus with the sensitivity and might of award winning writers such Anita Diamant, Naomi Shihab Nye, Margaret Coel, Dennis Palumbo, the always hilarious Michael Perry, and Wyoming’s long-reining poet laureate David Romvedt, just to name a few. The complete lineup is below and you can find the details of their publishing and awards on conference’s official site.
No doubt the exchange of dialogue, manuscript critiques, and workshops among these heavyweights and the seven agents and editors will foster the kind of rising to the occasion that puts every conference guest on the path to writing at the top of his or her talents. We look forward to sharing the 21st Annual Conference, and propelling more worthy books, your books, toward print.
