AIW’s 31st Annual Writers’ Conference is less than a month away, and spots are filling fast! This year we’ve got people coming from as far away as Wisconsin and California, plus a huge showing from the Southeastern US including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee among other locations. Whether you’re right in DC near GWU’s Cafritz Center ( map | details ) or a plane ride away, this year’s conference will be worth the trip.
We’ve got:
- More than a dozen panels that span the gamut from technology for writers to digging up inside information for your next book or article to cringe-worthy grammar gaffes. See full list of panels and the schedule for the day.
- 17 (!!!) literary agents serving on roundtables and panels, meeting one-on-one with conference attendees, and even getting there at the crack of dawn for an Agent Breakfast with YOU (assuming that YOU are someone who signs up in time!). See full list of agents.
- 45 speakers and presenters, including our plenary speaker, Writer’s Digest Books Editor Chuck Sambuchino, and our keynote speaker, North Carolina State University creative writing MFA professor Jill McCorkle. See full list of speakers (more being added up to conference date) and the schedule for the day.
- Full continental breakfast, gourmet boxed lunch (the sandwiches and wraps are fantastic), and reception with complimentary h’ors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
- Lots of great networking opportunities throughout the day.
