Yes, it’s the holidays, but I’m talking about registration for the LDS Storymakers conference in May. You don’t need to be an LDS person to attend. You just need to want to learn about craft and connecting with other writers. But even if you don’t want to connect, you should attend if you’re a writer or thinking about writing. It’s my favorite conference ever, and next year it will be amazing. The keynote speaker is Martine Leavitt, whose book Keturah and Lord Death was a National Book Award finalist. She’s also a faculty member at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Besides being the keynote speaker, she’s also teaching an intensive class titled “The two hour MFA,” to give you an idea of how amazing it will be.
Next year my fourteen year old son will come along with me, and only because of that I’m more excited than I can express.
Take the plunge! Sign up for it!
