"You cope all year with the creative isolation that's part of the writer's journey. Our annual conference is an opportunity for you to meet and exchange ideas with hundreds of other writers, to hone your craft, find expert advice, sell your work and get your creative juices flowing. Inspiration is what it's all about, and the inspiration you gain during the Willamette Writer's 2010 conference this August will help fire you up and carry you through the winter months - and work - ahead.

This year's workshops will be so good you will wish you had a clone before it's over. Choose from nearly 100 workshops conducted by seasoned pros in the areas of fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, manuscript editing, publishing, pitching, entering writing contests, research and business. Whether you write self-help books, historic fiction, blockbuster Hollywood screenplays, mysteries, romance, magazine articles, sci-fi, plays, children's books, humor, or simply need help marketing yourself as a professional, you'll find helpful guidance and keen insights at the 2010 Willamette Writer's Conference."
