 The Northwoods Writers Conference gives writers from all over the world a chance to come together and participate in workshops centered around poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. There was also a reading series in the week-long conference at Bemidji State University's American Indian Resource Center. Guests heard from nationally recognized writers as they shared portions from their books. The conference is also a place for the community to engage in a contemporary literature. Participants traveled thousands of miles to take part in this conference. Some even came all the way from Denmark.
