Some are free. Some require a fee.
Some are more social than others. Many are for new writers, but a few dig deep
into craft. You should choose an event that speaks to your needs and desires.
Unfortunately, with the pandemic,
many in person events have been cancelled. Some have been replaced with virtual
events, podcasts, or online classes and lectures. Virtual events allow for a
wider audience and lower costs since attendance does not require travel and
lodging. Many plans remain up in the air as the situation shifts.
