SUMMARY:WriteAngles Conference!
DESCRIPTION:Join Straw Dog Writers Guild for WriteAngles\, the only writers conference in Western Massachusetts. Choose from 20 different workshop and panels to attend during this full day conference\, held at Greenfield Community College. Sign up to have an individual meeting with an agent. But most importantly\, spend time with other writers in your community who care about writing as much as you do. \nThe year’s conference theme\, inspired by Tiffany Yates Martin’s quote from The Thicket of Thorns: Stories Grow\, suggests exploring writing as a tool for resilience\, justice\, and forging connections in our polarized era. WriteAngles brings together writers for workshops\, roundtable conversations\, networking\, and inspiration. \nA keynote speaker of national note\, Franny Choi\, whose work supports the theme\, will launch the day’s activities\, which includes programming for writers at all levels of development and appointments with literary agents. \nWriteAngles is by writers for writers in the vibrant literary region of western Massachusetts. In line with Straw Dog Writers Guild’s mission\, presenters represent a diversity of age\, race/ethnicity\, and gender identity. Presenters will receive an honorarium\, and a generous scholarship program will welcome lower-income participants.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Submission Barrier with D. Dina Friedman\, the Submission Queen
DESCRIPTION:Writing may be a mostly joyful process\, but the process of offering our work to journals and literary agents can feel terrifying\, or simply like drudgery. This confidence-building workshop will help you increase your motivation for getting your work out into the universe\, where it deserves to be seen. We’ll work on setting reasonable and realistic submission goals\, and develop some armor for persevering through rejection. We’ll also cover the advantages/disadvantages of why/where/how you should (or shouldn’t) submit\, as well as strategies for finding submission resources\, establishing a submission habit\, and tracking your efforts.  \nRegister HERE! \nDubbed “The Submission Queen” in many of her local writing groups\, D. Dina Friedman has published in over 150 literary journals and received six Pushcart Prize and two Best-of-the Net nominations. She has also received more than 1\,000 rejections—maybe 5\,000 (she hasn’t counted them.) Dina is the author of two books of poetry: Here in Sanctuary—Whirling (Querencia Press) and Wolf in the Suitcase (Finishing Line Press); one book of short stories: Immigrants (Creators Press); and two young adult novels: Escaping Into the Night (Simon & Schuster) and Playing Dad’s Song (Farrar\, Straus\, Giroux). Dina blogs on living a creative life in a creatively challenged universe at https://ddinafriedman.substack.com. Visit her website at https://www.ddinafriedman.com. \n  \n
