This conference quite literally changed my life and the lives of countless writers I know and admire. It's where I met many of my closest friends and favorite editors. As a direct result of editors I met at the conference, I've been sent to Spain to study flamenco guitar, to Utah to go llama camping, and to South Korea to retrace my steps. (And that's just the highlights reel!) I've also met participants who have gone on to study with me and travel with me, and whom I've had the honor of publishing in The Best Women's Travel Writing. What I've learned from this conference is incalculable--but I've also had fun. I've laughed my head off and sung my lungs out at karaoke. I've dined with my heroes and found my community.

It's a really special conference.

If you’re interested in (or even just curious about) travel writing or photography, it may be the best money you’ll ever spend!
