2012 GCLS Conference

REGISTER NOW!

The Eighth Annual Golden Crown Literary Society Conference will be held in Minneapolis, June 13-17, 2012. All readers, writers, editors, publishers and friends/supporters of lesbian literature are welcome to attend.

2012 will be a year of new beginnings, as the Con starts moving around the country to cities where there are known communities of writers and readers who will welcome us.  Minneapolis is no slouch in this arena, with many well known writers in the area, not to mention a fab-u-lous community of women who are helping to organize the conference.

New to the GCLS Conference ?  If you have never been to a GCLS Conference (called "the Con"), you will get a special welcome inviting you to join with other "Con Virgins" to participate in a pre-conference event on Wednesday night, as well as various other events/occasions during the Con.  It's an experience you don't want to miss!

Watch this site for more information about the Con, as it becomes available.

The Eighth Annual Goldie Awards will be held on Saturday June 16th - always a surprise or two awaiting us all there!
