Conference Registration
At what stage in your writing career should you attend a writing conference? When you finish your first draft? When you complete a polished manuscript ready to send out to agents and publishers? Or when an idea percolates in your mind and you’ve yet to write anything more than a few hand-scribbled notes on a napkin?
At the Central Coast Writers Conference, the answer is all of the above!
CCWC features many different educational and genre tracks, each focused on a specific set of topics depending on where you are at this point in your writing career.
