I received this message from a grad student at the University of North Texas and thought some Inkthinker readers might be interested (boldfacing and links mine):
I wanted to make you aware of a literary nonfiction conference that would be invaluable for journalists. The conference is sponsored by the Mayborn Graduate School of Journalism, The Dallas Morning News and Village Voice Media. This year’s keynote speakers are Pulitzer Prize-winning author Scott Momaday, National Book Award Winner Bob Shacochis and Candice Millard, author of River of Doubt. The conference, which will be July 18-20 in Grapevine, TX, is an excellent way for writers to gain new perspective on writing from some of the best writers around, and they even have a writing contest with cash prizes! Please visit themayborn.unt.edu for more information.
If anyone is planning to attend, please leave a comment.
