Workshop Presenters Needed
Authors, editors, literary agents, booksellers, and publishers with a heart for mentoring the next generation of writers are encouraged to submit a workshop proposal
We want young writers to meet publishing industry professionals who live and work in their community.
Our conferences need dynamic local speakers who are deeply interested in fostering the development of young writers. If you are a professional in the publishing industry, are a dynamic speaker, and have experience teaching or mentoring youth, please submit a workshop proposal.
Applications are being accepted all the time.

What a great idea! I am certainly hoping to put in a proposal. At 45 minutes, that’s quite a brief time span. Looking forward to putting in a proposal. Exciting times!
With best wishes.
