Memories of CWC&R 2016

As you’ll see from the following photos, it was a wonderful week!  If you were part of it, many thanks.  If you weren’t able to come this year, we hope you’ll consider joining us next year.    We’ll post those dates here and on the CWC website as soon as we have them!

“In the Background,” was this year’s Plenary Panel topic.  Once again, three wonderful essays and a discussion that set the tone for the entire conference.

The 2017 Clockhouse Writers’ Conference & Retreat will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CWC alumni organization, and plans are already in the works to make this a very special gathering.  The dates will be posted here and on the CWC website as soon as they’re available.

 

With thanks to all, and especially to the CWC&R Coordinators Lucy Turner and Carolyn Bardos,
