Recent awards

July 13, 2011 by writeanglesblog

Valerie Martin, this year’s afternoon keynoter, has won a coveted Guggenheim Fellowship to complete her latest, 14th, novel THE GHOST OF THE MARY CELESTE, about a ship mysteriously abandoned in 1872. For more details on the award and her career, see the stories on the Mount Holyoke website (she is a visiting professor at the college) and in the Gazette.

Susan Stinson, who will moderate the panel Shaping the Story, was awarded the Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist Prize from the Lambda Literary Foundation. The prize, which comes with a $5,000 stipend, was awarded at the Lambda Literary Award Ceremony in New York City in May, when many other fine writers including Edward Albee were honored. Stinson, a Northampton resident who is a freelance editor and writing coach, is the author of the novels FAT GIRL DANCES WITH ROCKS, MARTHA MOODY and VENUS OF CHALK. Her recently completed novel, set in 18th-century Northampton, is about Jonathan Edwards and his family, including the people enslaved in his household. Stinson is also Writer in Residence at Forbes Library. Her award is covered in the Republican and the Gazette.

  • What is WriteAngles?

    Note: Our in-person conference is not being held in 2020. After more than thirty years WriteAngles has earned a reputation as Western New England’s leading conference by writers, for writers. The annual conference is produced by WriteAngles, Inc. At this one-day gathering, you’ll mix with experienced writers and agents in panel discussions, hands-on workshops, face-to-face meetings, and in casual networking opportunities. The affordably priced conference fee includes a continental breakfast and a bountiful buffet lunch. The conference is held in Mount Holyoke College’s gracious Willits-Hallowell Center in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

  • Who we are

    We are a group of writers living in Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, and thereabouts who organize and run the WriteAngles conference on an entirely volunteer basis. We are incorporated as a non-profit, WriteAngles, Inc., in the state of Massachusetts.

  • We are “budget-friendly”

    A few years ago our WriteAngles conference was featured in Writer’s Digest “Conference Scene” as one of four “budget-friendly events.” Under normal conditions, our all-day conference, with continental breakfast and buffet lunch, is still quite a bargain at $110 in advance and $120 at the door (general admission), while full-time students and those age 65 and up pay only $90 in advance and $100 at the door.
