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.
