Perhaps the best evidence that points to our achieved outcomes is the fact that we have sponsored this conference each year since 1990, attracting 70-100 writers per year. Many of these writers have attended more than one conference. We receive requests from professional writers to be speakers at our conference. In short, our primary outcome is to increase participant access to professional writers while gaining practical knowledge relating to their particular area of writing. We measure our outcomes by asking each participant and presenter to provide written feedback concerning their conference experience. The results are used to help plan the next year's conference.
Our main goal has always been to perpetuate the memory and works of Sinclair Lewis and to mentor writers as Lewis himself did. To this end, sponsoring 27 writers conferences since 1990 in Lewis' name and in his hometown addresses our goal. We evaluate our outcomes based on written feedback received from the conference participants. Many of our participants have attended more than one conference, which demonstrates that we are serving the needs of our audience of experienced and novice writers.
