This is the perfect event to learn\, grow\, and connect with other writers in the area. RRWC24 takes place on January 19-20\, 2024\, at Hollins University in Roanoke. The snow date is January 26-27.

It’s time to make your writing dreams a reality\, and we’re all here to help each other out!\n\nThe conference begins on Friday night at 7 p.m. with introductions\, our scholarship presentation\, and what I know will be an incredible keynote from premier guest Lee Hunsaker of “Hoot and Holler” fame. Saturday registration opens at 8:30 a.m.\, with classes starting at 9 a.m. Hunsaker will kick off the morning with a 2-hour workshop that will make your writer hearts sing!
