The total amount to attend the 10-day conference (costs for travel, room, board, and tuition) is $3,500. I consider myself very lucky but also know that I put in the work to make it this far. I may not get this chance again since it is hard to get accepted into the conference. Now the opportunity to attend Bread Loaf has come along. We planned for it, but we knew it would be close financially. This is a big deal for me as an “emerging” writer and also a challenge: it is expensive to attend this conference.īefore Hazel came, my partner Kristin and I decided that I would take a full 8 weeks of unpaid parental leave from my job. The same day as my second child Hazel’s birth (May 24th!), I received word in the mail that I was selected as a contributor in non-fiction to the 2015 Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference at Middlebury College in Vermont.
