Conference Reviews by Writers is a place for writers to meet and share information about all of the writing conferences that take place all over the country.

How do you choose which conference you are going to attend? If you read the information from each conference, it is certainly all upbeat and promising, but will it live up to the hype? Will it be worth your time and money? Which conferences give you the most bang for the buck?

We’ve asked all of our writers to be candid about their experiences so that you can make an informed decision about which conferences to attend.

We’ve even found a free conference that rivals some of the best (and most costly) conferences out there. [Check out the review of Story Week in Chicago. It’s free and open to the public and last year Junot Diaz was a speaker!]

Check back often as we are always adding new reviews. And you may write a review of a conference you’ve attended, too. See our 'Submit a Review' page for instructions.
