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 Writer’s 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.
Why should you register for the Central Coast Writers Conference?
- Study with some of the best writing faculty anywhere
- Learn valuable writing techniques and gain new insights
- Practice your craft in a supportive, collegiate setting
- Interact with dynamic authors, literary agents, marketing experts and fellow writers
- Meet one-on-one with some of Hollywood’s award winning writers
- You’ll return home energized, inspired and READY TO WRITE!
