Conferences
The Network sponsors two conferences each year -- a Spring Conference in late May and and a Fall Conference in late October or early November. These conferences bring together hundreds of writers for workshops, readings, networking, and lively discussion.
Spring Conference
- Spring Conference always convenes for one Saturday in the Triangle area. There are morning and afternoon workshops as well as an on-site lunch with readings, performances, vendors, a bookstore, and the exchange of ideas. Other features include open mic sessions and one-on-one manuscript evaluations
Fall Conference
- Fall Conference attracts hundreds of writers from around the country and provides a weekend full of activities that include lunch and dinner banquets with readings, keynotes, tracks in several genres, a meet and greet cocktail party with New York editors and agents, open mic sessions for participants, entertainment, a bookstore, and the opportunity for one-on-one manuscript critiques with New York editors or agents. Conference faculty include professional writers from North Carolina and beyond. Held every year in a major hotel, the conference rotates annually, cycling through Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, and Wilmington.
