For lovers of language, the 64th annual Philadelphia Writers Conference will be held June 8 through June 10 at the Holiday Inn at Fourth and Arch streets in downtown Philadelphia.
For those with a passion for writing in any genre, workshop sessions will be held for short story, poetry, horror/sci-fi/fantasy, memoir, novel, playwriting, writing for new media, and nonfiction.
The writing workshops are led by published authors and the best writing teachers in the area.
A peer critique will be held Friday night, so bring along sample works to read aloud.
Is your manuscript ready to sell? Sign up for a 5-minute pitch session on site after registering Friday morning (registration opens at 8:30 a.m., and agent/editor signups open at 9 a.m.).
Jonathan Maberry, a New York Times bestselling and multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author, magazine feature writer, playwright, content creator and writing teacher/lecturer, will be the opening speaker Friday morning. Maberry also is co-founder of the Liars Club and founder of the Writers Coffeehouse, both writers organizations.
"Writers prosper when they're around other writers, and the PWC is a chance to be a part of a thriving community of writers. It is the best networking opportunity around," said Maberry "You always come away fired up, well-informed and optimistic about getting your words into print."
