Pikes Peak Writers Conference

Pikes Peak Writers Conference

 

Pikes Peak Writers Conference

April 25-27, 2008

Join the jam-packed, three-day expedition into the world of commercial fiction writing. Includes 40-plus workshops, panels, one-on-one interviews with agents and editors, manuscript consultations, read & critique sessions, and six meals. This inspiring writers conference in Colorado Springs brings together best-selling authors and literary agents and editors from New York and the West Coast looking for new talent.

Our faculty this year includes best-selling authors Vicki Lewis Thompson, Bob Mayer, Carol Berg and Stephen Coonts, and veteran film and television producer, writer and director Kenny Golde. And one of the newest features to our workshop schedule will be graphic novel sessions with Louise and Walter Simonson–two bestselling New York artist/writers.

For PPW members, note that our registration date this year has changed. It will begin January 15, 2008. And if you’re not a member? Think about joining for the best chance to meet with the agents and editors of your choice. Otherwise, non-members can register starting February 15.

"One of the best conferences in the country," Diane Mott Davidson, bestselling author of the Goldy the Caterer series

"I had heard many good things about PPWC before coming and wasn't disappointed. I truly thought this was one of the better conferences I've attended." Michael Psaltis, Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency

"I would travel across country on roller skates to attend this conference." PPWC attendee
