One of the best parts of the conference was the opportunity to share my writing. It was fun to talk to all the other writers at the conference; everyone treated me as an equal.
Marie Champagne,
Mendocino Community High School

The Writers' Conference taught me that becoming a writer is not an unattainable career that only unusual luck and talent can bestow on one; instead this dream requires only hard work, determination, and—well—maybe just a touch of luck.
