Loft writing conferences take place throughout the year. The conferences are developed toward topics and themes specific to the various creative writing genres. The intensive one- and two-day events bring together writers, editors, publishers and agents from both the local and national literary community. Participants can choose from various sessions throughout the two days as well hear from keynote speakers, enjoy networking lunches and attend readings by conference presenters.
