We meet virtually in the fall for a writers' conference

Virtual Conference instead of Fall Writing Conference in Durham as planned by the NC Writers' Network.

I expect this conference to be a great experience for those of us who sign on to participate. 

I thoroughly enjoyed The Cabin Fever Conference in the spring, held on Zoom. I met the presenters and was able to ask questions and receive the recorded workshops for later perusal. 

Registration for this conference will be opened in September. Stay tuned to be sure you get included.
