Your registration lets us know if you’ll be joining us for co-writing and/or the plenary lecture. On this same registration form, you can register to reserve a 45-minute one-on-one session with a writing mentor.  Limited space is available for private writing sessions, so if the one-on-ones are full, you can sign-up to be on the waitlist.

Joi Miner, Miriam Calleja, Tina Mozelle Braziel, and Jermaine Thompson will offer one-on-one writing coaching. Charlotte Donlon will host co-writing.

At 3:00pm, poet Ashley M. Jones will give a plenary: “The Importance of Writing in These Times.”
