well organised and attended by a wonderful mix of people."
(Lorella Belli, Literary Agent)
"Thank you once again, (and to everyone in the organizing committees)
for a great conference. The comment I kept hearing was how well-organized
and
timely everything was handled. With such great people doing the organizing,
professional panelists as well as very good people from so many different
points in the world..... why wouldn't it be a Great Conference?"
Patricia Beckham-Prout (Participant)
"Although we were busy, the timing of this conference
allowed ... enough free space to develop the beginnings of new relationships
and
collaborations.
It is important for us as writers
to stay in touch, to develop paths for wider networks of listening
and communication. Thank you to Susan, Katie, and the team of passionate
committee members who put hundreds of hours into imagining the conference
and following every possible detail."
Wallis Wilde-Menozzi (Poetry Tutor)
"I had a wonderful experience, and I've come back home full of new
ideas to try."
Min Ku (Participant)
"I'm still reeling from the amount of information that I learned from
the different workshops and Q&A's and I'm inspired to improve
... there was an intensity that I don't think I've experienced anywhere
before,
and
yet everybody was so relaxed and forthcoming ..."
Trendell Thompson (Participant)
"This was one of the best writers' conferences
I have ever attended. The participants were serious about their craft
and I saw some good writing and, as importantly, I learned a great
deal from my fellow instructors."
Jane Dystel (Literary agent)
"Congratulations for an amazingly interesting and useful conference.
I've only attended my second conference, but found this one even better
than the last. I've also made some great contacts."
Nick Klepper (Participant)
"It was a lovely conference, one of the best I've been to."
