Minnie Brown and Janie Hall both attended and found the conference very informative. Minnie said she “really enjoyed learning how to write an ekphrasis poem and a anaphoric poem.

Although it was pitched at "the writing industry", it was only really aimed at those doing and teaching traditional creative writing. Although the tedious application forms (you couldn't do something as simple as just buying a ticket) clearly said the day was not targeted at beginning creative writers, I met many such people there. I must say I was a little disappointed.
