The Willamette Writers 2012 conference is August 3-5th at the Portland Airport Sheraton Hotel.
You cope all year with the creative isolation that's part of the writer's journey. Our annual conference is an opportunity for you to meet and exchange ideas with hundreds of other writers, to hone your craft, find expert advice, sell your work and get your creative juices flowing, and to pitch your ideas to literary agents, film managers, and editors. Inspiration is what it's all about. See more at WW web page.
