For TheLoveOf Writing
You finally finished your first novel. Yay! Now, how do you get the darn thing published? Ugh. Or, maybe you don’t know how to create a good villain. Maybe you’ve been stuck on page two since last Arbor Day. Where do you turn for guidance?
Don’t fret! Join us for the 18th annual DFW Writers Conference, presented by the DFW Writers’ Workshop, which will soon celebtrate its 50th year in helping writers take their career to the next level.
Learn how to get an agent’s attention with a well-written query letter. Even better, pitch your work to an agent in person. Catch sessions by established authors and other professionals in the business. Read in front of a small group for feedback. There are so many classes in two days it can be hard to choose. Aside from the formal schedule, DFWCon gives you the time to broaden your professional network and make new friends.
300+ attendees.
100 classes, panels and workshops. Meet agents, editors, and other professionals
