Looking to hone your craft and network with other writers? Here is a list of 25 writing conferences, retreats, and festivals to consider attending this summer and fall. You’ll notice that most events listed below are geared toward fiction writers interested in trade publication (my specialization), but many of them are open to writers of all literary forms, regardless of their publication path. Some are being held in-person, while others are accessible online, and a number of them touch on the business side of writing.
