Please add to the list of conferences in the comments below.
You see, at a recent monthly meeting, someone had the bright idea to compile a list of conferences for writers within a few hours of London.
First, it will help us know what opportunities there are in the area.
Second, if several of us are interested in the same conference, we might consider traveling there together.
So what conferences do you know about?
Add them in a comment below.
Once we gather a few, we might compile them into a permanent page on our website.
