The 2019 Writers Conference will be held Thursday, November 14 through Sunday, November 17. Our conference will focus on craft, skill-development, and community building. Get your manuscript polished and submission-ready with how-to sessions, editing and critique, and community building. Thursday - Saturday is for adult and teen writers. Sunday is just for the kids.
All sessions are First Come, First Served. Building a schedule does NOT guarantee a spot and is for informational purposes only.
