The SCWC provides multi-tiered workshop tracks. With the exception of evening “Rogue” read & critiques, workshops run 90 minutes. Advance sign-up is not required for most workshops, so conferees are free to go to any session they choose. Should you find that a particular session is not for you, or if you’d prefer to simply tap into another, you are encouraged to do so. Workshop summaries can be found on the Workshops and Events page.
