The Gemini Ink Writers Conference brings together noted contemporary writers and scholars for three days of workshops, panel presentations, readings, and a small press book fair, with free evening events and after-parties. Held in July at the El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel, the conference provides emerging and experienced writers with the opportunity to make connections, learn and share ideas, and recharge their craft. Located in South Texas, the conference attracts local, regional and national writers and readers to our city.
