Over 85 classes and workshops make up the conference and over 60 presenters, panels, individual writing critiques, keynotes and craft lectures are featured. With a focus on Hollywood and TV/screenwriting, some of the industry’s best creators will be accessible to all attendees.
The panels consist of best selling authors, tv and movie writers, scriptwriters, illustrators, all the best in the country and some from other parts of the world.

Whether you are a new writer or an established author, our conference will help elevate your writing to the next level and help you navigate through the business side of the industry.”
