Writers Conference

by Marsha Ward @MarshaWard marshaward.com


I spent a few days a week ago down in Gilbert, Arizona, for the 25th Annual Writers Conference put on by American Night Writers Association (ANWA), which is a writers group I started back in 1986. I had a ton of fun, seeing long-time friends again, “meeting” face-to-face with long-time Facebook and email friends, and enjoying the energy of so many like-minded souls together.


The highlight of my trip was a class I gave for two hours on Saturday afternoon. There were several talented writers who attended and found themselves validated in their writing style. It was a joyful class, and I loved being the bringer of that joy.

Have you ever attended a writers conference? What did you take away from the experience?

    1. I'm glad you pulled off the wedding so well, Kari. That was more important. I'm glad people liked my class. It was small, but the folks who attended seemed to appreciate the affirmation I gave them.
