Founded and run by professional writers the Southern California Writers Conference (SCWC) provides veteran and emerging talent with authoritative critique to help distinguish those manuscripts that are ready for market consideration, facilitating some $3 million worth of first-time authors' book and screen deals. With extended one-on-one evaluation of advance submissions and dozens of read & critique and Q&A workshops uniquely defying the "us versus them," academia-style cattle drives found at similar events, the SCWC is among the only writing conferences in the country specifically tailored to provide comprehensive feedback on your work.
Along with the read & critiques run during each session, many interactive problem-solving and assignment-oriented workshops are also available. And since the surroundings of the conference afford it, and since we most certainly encourage it, plenty of other opportunities await those attending to sidle up next to editors, agents, executives, and other writers joining us to discuss things on a more intimate level.
So whether you're a writer who can't figure why your work's not working, a writer simply in search of some answers, a writer wanting feedback on what you've written, a writer who doesn't know where to start, or just a writer who wants to hang with other writers, do yourself a favor and join us for the 22st Annual Southern California Writers Conference in San Diego.
