Writer's Conferences/Workshops/Retreats (Non-local) Eastern U.S.

Though at this point in time I'm not sure if there are any of us who are ready to begin going to writing conferences, workshops or retreats other than what is available locally, but I thought I'd post this information anyway since most of these are a yearly occurrence so the web sites should still be valid year after year.

This is a small list of writers conferences that are going on in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states in the East and along the Coast as far down as South Carolina.

That's a niiiice list. Thanks Vicki.
Man...I haven't been to a writing conference since the AWP in Vancouver...

You're welcome Julie! lol

I have actually never been to one. I had been scheduled for one years ago in California but a fire took out the place - I did have a nice vacation of sunshine in Sunny Southern California though! lol

Omg Vicki -- a fire breaking out -- what are the odds? In a way you were lucky, a tour of SoCal without the boring panel presentations -- lol.
