    CAPE COD writers CENTER 57TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE A CAPE COD LITERARY TRADITION SINCE 1963 August 1-4, 2019 The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Massachusetts WritingWriting in Today’s World Welcome Welcome to the 57th Cape Cod Writers Center Conference Literary Inspiration by the Sea August 1-4, 2019 The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis As you turn the pages of this brochure, we want to remind you that our goal remains the same as it was in 1963 when a group of forward-looking Cape Cod writers launched the first conference. Then, as now, the Writers Center is committed to helping people of all ages, races, cultures, religions and genders improve their literary skills and work towards publication. That’s because we believe in the power of the written word. Even so, you may have heard that we’re living in an increasingly visual world. YouTube footage attracts millions of followers; websites and blogs are inevitably paired with pictures; emojis have become shortcuts for complex emotions. What, then, does that suggest about the future of the written word? Probably not as much as it seems. The publishing industry remains robust; over half a million books are published every year. Book clubs thrive in countless communities across America; libraries have evolved into hot new communica- tion centers as millions of people read books on eReaders. In short, the printed word remains an important part of everyday life. When you’re in the mood for a good story, want to be entertained, learn about the past or take time away from the screen, where do you turn? To a book.
