DESCRIPTION:This year’s keynote speaker will be Meg Shaffer\, bestselling author of The Wishing Game and The Lost Story.  \n“The Books in Progress Conference at the Carnegie Center ended up being a timely and integral nudge for my final revision of Back to Blue Holly.

I left the conference with the drive and confidence to dig back in.” – Beth Pride\, author of Back to Blue Holly \nGrow your writing in sessions and panels led by top authors\, editors\, and writing professionals. Virtual one-on-one pitches with literary agents will be available after the conference. \n  \n
