We've organized our diverse workshop offerings into Curated Tracks—themed collections of sessions designed to guide you through the aspects of writing and publishing that matter most to you. Including craft, publishing, marketing, and legal.
NEW – Writers Connect (Thoughtful Networking)
Join us on Friday afternoon for 2 hours of thoughtful networking. Instead of milling about a large room and handing out business cards, attendees will participate in guided activities designed to encourage authentic connection and inspire a sense of fun. Activities include deep conversation tables, a pitch storm group activity, and matching games. Connect with other writers and leave with a few new friends.
