Would you like to teach a class/workshop or present at our next conference? 

For classes/workshops offered year-round OR for sessions at our next conference, use the following guidelines and links to submit your proposal.

Craft classes/workshops:

All types of fiction
Creative nonfiction (memoir, essays, magazine writing)
Poetry
Screenwriting
Children's writing

The business of writing:

Marketing
Query letters, proposals, synopses
Social media
Publishing industry and the various options

Other:

Got something else unique you'd like to pitch? We'd love to hear it.
