For Diverse Writers: Getting Invited to Read at Literary Conferences

This workshop offers information, guidance, and support to underserved indigenous writers and writers of color who are applying to have their work accepted at a writers' conference or convention, whether virtual or in-person. In a safe and supportive environment, we will explore how to:

*choose the right writers' conference for you
*prepare a polished submission
*make a professional impression from submission to attendance
*create a conference plan
*get financial support to attend
*navigate concerns that arise for us as attendees of color
*avoid common, costly mistakes in your CV and bio that mark you as an amateur

This workshop is open to writers of color of all levels who feel prepared to present their work at a professional writers' conference.
