In its fifteenth year, the June 28-July 1 Jackson Hole Writer's Conference promises great new programs for writers.
Three new interest tracks are offered this year, the travel and outdoor magazine market, tech writing, and, young adult fiction. Specialists in all of these fields are giving workshops and advice.
Daniel Woodrell, whose novel, Winter's Bone is nominated for the LA Times Book Award, will be speaking. Terry Tempest Williams heads the non-fiction side along with Alexandra Fuller. New York novelist Tiffanie Debartolo and Colorado writer William Heywood Henderson round out the visiting fiction writers. Daniel Glick, Todd Strasser, and Lee Zacharias head up the special interest tracks. Dozens of Wyoming writers will also be speaking including Tim Sandlin, Deborah Bedford, Craig Johnson, and Tina Welling.
A returning highlight of the conference are the critiques offered by the participants. Polish up your best fifteen pages and submit them early to ensure you get time with the experts to talk about your writing.
Details of registration, including the manuscript critiques and teacher credits, are on the new website for the conference at www.jacksonholewritersconference.com or call 307-413-3331. Online registration is available.
