Praise for the 2015 conference

“ . . . impeccably organized, totally inspiring, and wonderfully executed. I so appreciated the opportunity to take part in your bright, beautiful mission!” —CC Perry
 
“I felt so enriched and motivated after the workshop with Kathleen Driskell, the many readings given, and the panel on publishing in the poetry world. Beyond that, it was wonderful to be immersed in a community of women writers of all backgrounds, trainings, and interests. This Atlantan loved an opportunity to visit the picturesque, historic city of Lexington, too!” —Paige Sullivan, Postgraduate Scholarship winner
 
“The level of speakers as individuals and on panels was outstanding. I congratulate you on this annual conference. The ability to attract acclaimed authors certainly rests on the quality of the conference over the years.” —Connie Foster, Dean of Libraries, Western Kentucky University (where parts of KWWC2015 were livestreamed)
 
“I was struck how beautifully run this conference was. The board members serving as mentors to the workshop leaders, the lovely, big-windowed Carnegie Center, the extraordinary diversity, the high quality of the panelists, the energy of the participants in my workshop, the smiling booksellers . . . wow. Thank you for giving me the chance to be a part of it.”—Emily Bingham, author of Irrepressible: The Jazz Age Life of Henrietta Bingham
 
“I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience at the Women Writers Conference! Everything ran so smoothly and I met such great people. The workshop with Kathleen Driscoll was fantastic. The poetry slam (my first) exceeded expectations.” —Sylvia Ahrens
 
"KWWC is the only conference that recognizes and honors my special attributes/needs as a female in our Good-Old-Boy world, gives a voice to my concerns as an older, "invisible" female, and gives me room to ask questions and offer solutions without fear of gender-biased discomfort or recrimination. Thank you for all that—and more." —Dr. E. Carolyn Tucker
 
Our next conference will be September 16–17, 2016. If you would like to receive our bi-monthly e-newsletter with updates, please email us at kentuckywomenwriters@gmail.com.
