About the Central Coast Writers Conference

The Central Coast Writers Conference returns once more, and this year it is virtual!

Marking 36 years of insightful dialogue, networking, and unrivaled access to our staff, we were named the “Best Conference In the West” by Writers Magazine.

With 40 presenters offering over 100 classes, 2020 will be the most eventful Central Coast Writers Conference to date! We offer workshops in screenwriting, beginning writing, poetry, memoir, novels, nonfiction, marketing, young adult, and getting an agent. Our keynotes, and many unique craft lectures, mentor programs offer a novel experience for the writers.

The Conference will happen on September 24-26, 2020, via Zoom, and all attendees will have access to a video recording to each workshop and keynote. 

“We’ve decided to shoot even higher for 2020,” stated Teri Bayus, Director of the Central Coast Writers Conference. “We’re keeping what works while also offering exceptional new opportunities. We have a set of phenomenal speakers, including Emmy and Academy Award winners, best-selling authors, poet laureates, and the most popular TV writers in the world.”

We are offering five master classes with a limit of 15 students per class. These master classes are broken down by novel writing, memoir, poetry, marketing, and E-book publishing.

“We want to make sure that there is something for everyone,” said Bayus.  “No matter where you are in your writing career, every person who attends this conference via Zoom will learn new skills and leave prepared to take their writing to the next level.”

The Central Coast Writers Conference is brought to you by Cuesta College Community Programs. We retain an Advisory Committee of 25 local writers and leaders shaping the Conference.
