Due to our commitment to establishing a safe and welcoming environment for our participants, we've decided to hold the C.D. Wright Women Writers Conference virtually this fall. Our executive committee is in the process of evaluating panel proposals. Watch this space for updates.
Note from the Director
The C.D. Wright Women Writers Conference focuses on women-identifying writers from all genres and all experience levels, from journalism to mass market books to literary endeavors, and beyond. Our goal is to provide a space for camaraderie, connection-making, and inspiration, and while women-identifying writers are the only presenters at the conference, we welcome all of our male and male-identifying colleagues to attend. We believe that much of what we have to offer, including the specific, female perspective, is valuable for all audiences, and that male allies are necessary to changing the current gender imbalance in publishing.
While many people stepped up to support our goals in creating the conference, we are indebted, especially, to Forrest Gander, C. D. Wright's husband, for granting us permission to honor her memory by naming our conference after her, and to Nan Snow, writer and former UCA Foundation Board member, who brought the idea of hosting a women writers conference to us in the first place.
We hope you will join us in November!
