Northern Colorado Writers Conference

2021 Northern Colorado Writers Conference, April 24-May 1, 2021

We're so excited to announce Jayne Allen and Teresa Funke for our keynotes at the 2021 NCW Conference!

The NCW Conference caters to a variety of genres including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenwriting. This year, we’ve adopted a hybrid model in response to the current pandemic conditions. The conference will be split into two parts.

Our online conference will feature a wide array of sessions, presented via Zoom and with state-of-the-art interactivity and networking tools by Whova. The in-person component will include hands-on workshopping with top-notch author presenters and industry professionals.

In-Person Workshops

Due to ongoing pandemic conditions, we will offer a very limited in-person component to our conference. This one-day event will feature a choice fo workshops from some fantastic presenters. The event will take place at The Lincoln Center in Fort Collins. Because this is an indoor event, all attendees will be required to wear masks over nose and mask at all times, and social distancing will be enforced.

In-Person Workshops: April 24 SOLD OUT
Registration closed. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email director@northerncoloradowriters.com We cannot guarantee spots will open up.
