Conferences
Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference— If you have ten days and the money, nothing beats this conference. Have dinner with the poet laureate, talk over structure with Pulitzer Prize winners and enjoy the beautiful Vermont surroundings. The instructors and people bring a diverse range of skills and opportunities. Bread Loaf will arrange opportunities to talk with agents and publishers as well. And who could turn down a chance to spend a week in Sicily through their Bread Loaf in Sicily program? This program doesn’t have the range of industry people there but it does offer an intimate setting to interact with the instructors.
