Few people spend more time at writers' conferences than Roy Peter Clark, who offers some tips for making them pay: "I remember seeing the late great Richard Ben Cramer sitting on a rug looking over the story written by a young writer he had just met. He’d do it for hours. I saw Norman Mailer sitting alone at a table. I approached him politely, asked him a question about one of his essays, and got a warm response." This year's best conferences.
