JOIN US FOR THE 18TH ANNUAL WRITERCON: TIMELESS TALES

Stories endure. Across generations and cultures, the power of storytelling remains constant—shaping history, preserving voices, and captivating audiences for centuries.

This year, we explore the craft of writing stories that transcend time, whether through classic storytelling techniques, innovative adaptations, or the reinvention of familiar narratives for new audiences. From historical fiction to speculative futures, memoir to myth, this gathering of writers, editors, publishers, and industry experts will equip attendees with the tools to craft narratives that resonate across eras.

Join us for an immersive weekend of workshops, panels, and networking designed to help you shape your own timeless tale. Whether you’re a seasoned author or just beginning your journey, discover how to write stories that endure, inspire, and leave a lasting impact.

WHAT TO EXPECT

At WriterCon each year the schedule is built around one central question: How can we help writers most? We provide knowledge and opportunities designed to push you forward along your writer’s journey. We have three days of breakout sessions, some for newbies, some tailored for multiple-book authors, and most falling in between—meaning they’re useful for everyone. Our breakout sessions cover every aspect of writing, marketing, and publishing. We also provide pitch sessions for those looking for agents or publishers. We have evening roundtable discussions, where you can meet with experts in a less formal setting and get your questions answered. We have longer “MasterClasses,” a first-page panel, private consultations, manuscript reviews (by published authors), Open Mic Night, karaoke, and much more. Join us! Achieve your writing dreams!
