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!
