Write Angles
…a day of literary and gustatory delights!
On October 18, 2014, Western New England celebrates the 29th anniversary of its very own Write Angles Conference, by writers, for writers. If you decide to go, bring your appetite – it is a day of literary and gustatory delight. In addition to the panels, workshops, meetings, and networking opportunities, you’ll hear keynote addresses from writer, educator, and cultural activist Christian McEwen, and novelist David Anthony Durham.
