Quote from a successful past participant: "…. an invaluable experience. It was at the conference that I was lucky enough to meet my agent, who recently sold my first novel, The Two Family House, to St. Martin’s Press for publication in the winter of 2016. I am so grateful to the people at the Writing Center for putting together such a well-planned, practical and inspiring day that truly changed the course of my writing career.”- Lynda Loigman
