Writers' Day is the region's most exciting writing conference, attracting bestselling authors, award winners, laureates, and more. In 2015, we welcome as our keynote speaker Anita Diamant, best-selling author of twelve books including The Red Tent. We have a ton of workshops and seminars led by an incredible line-up of professional writers, editors, agents, and publishers. The conference includes the option of face-to-face manuscript critiques and agent/publisher one-on-one pitch sessions. The day will be followed by the inaugural induction ceremony for the New Hampshire Literary Hall of Fame. Hosted at Southern NH University in Manchester.
Writers' Day is brought to you in part by a grant from the NH State Council on the Arts, Delta Dental, and Southern NH University. Thank you to Gibson's Bookstore. Thank you also to the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, who provides a major grant for NHWP's programming throughout the year.
