Upcoming Conferences for Writers

If you've been watching your calendar for the first day of autumn, you may also be itching to mark a few things on it as well. Why not start sorting through your clothes and packing for one of these conferences and writer workshops? Over the next few weeks you can head from one side of the USA to the other, meet up with other writers, and learn from all sorts of guest speakers and instructors. Don't forget to take your draft of the "Great American Novel" with you -- some of these places feature editors and literary agents who are just waiting to discover the next shining star.
