The Canal Town Writers Conference sponsored by the Eastern Shore Writers Association returns September 28, 2019, offering an opportunity for engaging with fellow writers and energizing your own writing in the beautiful setting of historic Chesapeake City, MD.
Set for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the conference will offer two sessions in the meeting room at the Chesapeake City branch library. The sessions with writing coaches John DeDakis and Nancy Mitchell are intended to be of interest to writers in all genres and experience levels. There will be an opportunity to enjoy lunchtime fellowship and networking.
The conference itself is free. Attendees will be paying for their own lunch in a group setting.
“Chesapeake City has a rich literary heritage with ties to Jack D. Hunter, Edna Ferber, and George Alfred Townsend,” said David Healey, a local author and Eastern Shore Writers Association board member who is helping to organize the event. “The Canal Town Writers Conference builds on this heritage by gathering writers from across the region to improve their craft, enjoy fellowship with other writers, and to explore historic Chesapeake City.”
Space is limited to 30 seats. Please email cheswriters@gmail.com to reserve your spot.
