| Description: | The tranquil seaside landscape sets the tone for this informal gathering of writers, teachers, editors, and literary agents. The intimate size and secluded location of the Writers in Paradise experience allow you the time and opportunity to share your manuscripts, critique one another's work and discuss the craft of writing with experts and peers who can help guide you to the next level. After eight days of workshopping and engagement with peers and professionals in your field, you will leave this unique opportunity with solid ideas about how to find an agent and get published, along with a new and better understanding of your craft. At the final Evening Reading Series Event, Co-directors Dennis Lehane and Sterling Watson will announce "The Best Of" nominees of the 2012 Eckerd College Writers' Conference: Writers in Paradise. Winners will be published in Sabal - A Review Featuring the Best Writing of the Writers in Paradise Conference at Eckerd College. Located on the beautiful waterfront campus of Eckerd College, this writers' conference features professional writers at the top of their form spending time with motivated and talented participants who seek an intimate, unhurried climate for learning... in paradise. | ||||||
