Northwestern University will come alive with literary activity as fiction writers, journalists, critics, editors, publishers and aspiring literati gather for the fourth annual “Art and Craft: the Northwestern Summer Writers’ Conference.”
The conference will take place Aug. 13–16 in University Hall, 1987 Sheridan Road, Evanston. Participants may register for the conference for $600 for four days or $225 per day.
As the only event of its kind in the Chicago area, this year’s conference includes a keynote speech by novelist Rosellen Brown at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13 in Harris Hall, Room 107.
A pair of readings by poets Simone Muench and Ed Roberson will take place at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13 at the McCormick Tribune Center Forum, 1870 Campus Drive with a reception at 5 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
The conference is tailored to new writers, established writers, and anyone seeking a fuller understanding of the craft, and business, of writing. Workshops include fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, and writing for stage and screen. The conference has already grown into a highly anticipated event for writers in the area and around the country.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn everything from how to generate ideas for writing to how to better market and sell their work. There will also be manuscript consultations with workshop leaders.
