If you live in Arizona, I have good news for you. The Time Out for Writers conference is only two weeks away. I am excited to be part of this event. ANWA does an excellent job of putting on a friendly and instructive writing conference. If you have never been to a writing conference then this is definitely the event for first time attendees.
