Host a Writer

Out-of-town conference attendees either stay in local hotels or with community hosts who have a spare room and a desire to support the local literary arts.

Priority for community housing is given to scholarship recipients who otherwise would be unable to afford the conference. Conference attendees are responsible for their own transportation and food beyond conference-supplied meals. They’re individually screened and matched to potential hosts.

Community housing hosts can attend for free eight daytime lectures and four evening readings featuring conference faculty members – a $250 value.

If you’re interested in being a community housing host for the 2012 conference, July 22-27, please contact Christy Palella (housing@napawritersconference.org).
