Fall is the perfect time to attend a writer's conference and the next few weeks offer a plethora of conferences to choose from. Whether you are a new or experienced writer, these conferences will help you bring your writing to a new level, network with other writers, and interact with professionals.
Most offer workshops for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced writers with specialty tracks for fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, and more. To get the most out of your experience, search for a conference offering presentations in your areas of interest.
If attending a conference isn't for you, consider heading over to Calypsos Coffee in Coeur d'Alene to check out their Open Mic night. If you are interested in sharing your words, just sign up online, or stop by to check it out from 6:00-to-9:00 p.m. any Monday night. http://www.calypsoscoffee.com/
