This week we're changing the format to talk about writing conferences, and in particular the Napa Valley College Writer's Conference, which Matthew recently attended. We've got a full plate, from what the food was like, to how it was to -- gasp! -- read in front of other writers, to how you can choose the right conference to attend. Plus, what is the Munro of Alice? ... and Ben blushes after a titillating question of the week.
