Close your eyes. Imagine yourself sitting on the Merrill House porch on a balmy summer evening, drink in hand, having engaging conversations with fellow writers. In a little over a month, this will be a reality––and we can’t wait!

Remember us mentioning a Conference theme? Well, start thinking now, because a big question we want to take up in various forms throughout the week is, “In times of crisis, where is the writer?” We’re looking forward to all the wonderful discussions with you at the Conference!

Workshop update! Kyle Bass’ workshop has now been changed to Dramatic Writing: Stage & Screen, perfect for writers looking to start or revise a short stage play, short narrative screenplay, or both. Learn more at https://t.co/YcoLs3jW3h.
