Peter White Public Library
Mark your calendars for the 2025 UPPAA Spring Conference and simultaneous Young Writers Storytelling Workshop at the Peter White Public Library in downtown Marquette, Michigan. If you’ve never been to our Spring Conference, you’re in for a treat of not only smart, experienced, and helpful speakers but a one-of-a-kind fellowship and networking with your fellow yooper writers!
We have some dynamite speakers lined up:
- Keynote: Michael Carrier, author of more than 18 crime/thriller novels with U.P. connections
- Michael Peach: How to Do Submissions for Poetry Anthologies
- Rod Sadler: How to Research Your True Crime Nonfiction
- Sharon Brunner: Addressing the Needs of Native Americans in Literature
- Sue Harrison: Creating Compelling Characters
- Sylvia Hubbard: 21st Century Goals for Success for Writers and Readers
- Tyler Tichelaar: Self-Publishing 101
Last but not least, we sure hope you can join us again for Friday Night Networking + Open Mic night. Our first ever Friday night event got rave reviews.
