Note from the Director
The C.D. Wright Women Writers Conference focuses on women 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 writers are the only presenters at the conference, we welcome all of our colleagues to attend regardless of gender identity. We believe that much of what we have to offer, including the specific, women writers perspective, is valuable for all audiences, and that men as 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!
