In 5 weeks, our Conversations & Connections conference returns to Philly. We'll be at the Temple University Student center on 9/23, and even though it's a new location it's the same great conference we've been running for 17 (!) years now -- affordable, fun, inclusive, supportive, and *practical*.
Every year, people leave feeling excited about writing and writing community.
This event is open to writers of all experience levels, from people with hundreds of publications to people just starting out.
If you're looking to kickstart your writing or just connect with local writers and editors, you can register today.
(for $75, which is *way* cheaper than any similar-sized conference in the area, you get a full day of panels and craft sessions, the featured author reading/QA, one "speed date" with an editor, the featured book of your choosing, and one giveaway from a participating press).
Featured authors are Athena Dixon, Pattie McCarthy, Monica Prince, and Sara Lippmann. Some instructors and speakers include Cara Blue Adams, Joseph Earl Thomas, Liz Moore, Stan Mir, Holly Wendt, Lilly Dancyger, Marguerite Sheffer, and Tierney Oberhammer.
Participating small presses include Thirty West, Mason Jar, Lanternfish, Santa Fe Writers Project, Taco Bell Quarterly, Cleaver, American Short Fiction, and more.

Conversations and Connections is a one-day conference organized by Barrelhouse in person at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA on September 23, 2023.
