Great Plains Writers' Conference

The schedule for the 2018 Great Plains Writers’ Conference (March 23-25 in Brookings, SD) can be found at https://greatplainswritersconference.com/2018-conference/. We hope you’ll join us!

We will be back in Brookings, SD with an updated format from Friday March 23 through Sunday March 25. Stay tuned for details!

For a variety of reasons (most of them related to the ongoing budget crunch facing higher education in America, particularly in the arts and humanities) the Great Plains Writers’ Conference will be on hiatus for the 2017 session.

Normally this time of year we would begin telling you about all the wonderful things we have planned for March. But this year, that’s not the case.

If and when we are able to put on a conference in the future, we will announce it loud and clear on this site and in social media.

Thank you for your support of the GPWC in years past! We hope to be back on track for 2018.

Unfortunately, our keynote speaker Dr. Janet Murray will not be able to speak in Brookings due to an illness. Her lecture, which was to be held on Monday night at the McCrory Gardens Visitor Center will be cancelled.

Our other regularly scheduled daytime events on Monday will go on as planned in the Hobo Day Gallery at the SDSU Student Union. Hope to see you there!

All morning and afternoon sessions will be held in the Hobo Day Gallery, located in the northwest corner of the SDSU Student Union. The 7 p.m. keynote address by Janet Murray will be held in the McCrory Garden educational center.
