Luncheon — Shelley Blanton-Stroud

Choose and Use a Writers Conference for Your Advantage

Saturday February 18, 2017 11:00 AM-1:00 PM

Shelley-Blanton-StroudThough Shelley has taught college composition for twenty-eight years, mostly at Sacramento State University, she is four-years-new to fiction. Her stories appear in Eunoia Review, Mamalode, Soundings Review, Brevity and Cleaver. She has brought pieces of her novel-in-progress to Bread Loaf, Napa, and Squaw Valley writing workshops, where smart people have tried to teach her how to make a book. She has attended a variety of other residential programs, including the San Francisco Writing Conference, Book Passage Mystery Writing Conference and the SCBWI conference. Shelley will describe the good and bad of residential writing workshops and conferences. Expect to learn about her experience at:

  • The cozy, craft- and wine-centric literary workshop
  • The huge, buzzy, commercial conference
  • The intimate, genre-specific conference
  • The youthful insiders’ workshop
  • The elite east coast literary workshop
