Description:	SOUTHAMPTON WRITERS CONFERENCE (7/16 - 7/27) As part of the Stony Brook Southampton Masters in Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Literature Program, the Southampton Writers Conference provides a forum for authors of all genres to study and discuss the craft of writing through workshops, lectures, readings and small-group discussions. Primarily a residential conference, the program includes workshops in the novel, short story, poetry, creative nonfiction, playwriting and literary essay. Workshop size is limited. Sessions meet for two and a half hours on alternate mornings throughout the Conference; remaining mornings are devoted to lectures by faculty members and leading authors. In the afternoons, participants may choose from a wide variety of "elective" sessions, which include presentations by distinguished editors, publishers and agents, as well as workshops on special topics in writing. Evenings will feature regular faculty and awarding-winning visiting authors. Graduate credit is available to eligible students. SOUTHAMPTON CHILDREN'S LITERATURE CONFERENCE (7/9 - 7/13) For Writers, Illustrators, and Lovers of Children's Books. Are you interested in writing or illustrating children's books?
