UPDATED NEWS on the fall REGIONAL CONFERENCE:
Join PWAC Prairies and the North as members come together in sunny Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with PWAC professionals about bestpractices and travel writing. 

This full-day conference features:

  • Learning about best practices in the business of writing from Marie Powell-Mendhall and Darrel Noakes, two successful PWAC-SK members.
  • A two-hour workshop, delivered by Doreen Pendgracs, that will help attendees learn how to create a travel story from virtually any experience, whether at home in their own backyard or half way around the world. The workshop will also focus on developing markets for travel writing and how to seize the many opportunities that are right in front of you.
  • learn how to develop your skills and apply them to your success as a freelancer from the professionals: This panel discussion features professional writers living, working, and making a living in a diverse range of markets across the PWAC Prairies and the North region.

  1. Thanks for the update, Michelle.

    I think it's wonderful that you're doing this regional blog. And I think it's REALLY wonderful that Bonnie has organized such an amazing lineup for the Sept 22nd event. So glad to be a part of that!

    See you all at MagNet!

  2. Doreen, you are too kind. I have a region full of talented individuals who are helping bring this conference together. Without them, I could do nothing. We are thrilled that you are coming to Saskatchewan. Saskatoon is a beautiful place to hold a conference.
