Welcome to “Writing the Rockies” 2012
The conference welcomes beginners, published writers, and anyone else who believes in the magic and power of the written word.
Set in the beautiful Gunnison Valley of the central Colorado Rockies on the campus of Western State College, the conference offers a wide range of workshops designed to provide valuable learning tools in an inspiring setting.
Workshop faculty members have a broad range of published works, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, screenwriting, magazine article writing, as well as industry publishing experience. Working with participants of all levels, our featured faculty will help writers hone their craft through workshops and will mix with participants during events outside of formal sessions. Talk at leisure to our scheduled agents and book publishers, or sign up for pitches.
In cooperation with Western's new low-residency MFA in Genre Fiction/Nonfiction, Poetry, or Screenwriting, and Western's new Certificate in Publishing.
