Nebula Conference 2018

When do you need a workshop? How do you find one, or failing that, start one? And is a workshop a lifelong tool or something you might well grow out of? Many of us break into the field through fee-based writers' workshops, of which there are many, serving a variety of needs. Some published writers are still in the market for these workshops, to develop their skills or to pursue an advanced degree or both. But eventually the student-mentor model no longer serves our needs and we look to peer workshops. This panel brings together writers who have had experience with workshops at all levels, from the occasional gathering to formal teaching workshops and the proliferating MFA programs and on to longstanding local and national pro workshops.
