This year’s conference will dive into genre writing, with faculty who are established authors of cozy mysteries, crime, romance, dystopian, and fantasy novels. Award-winning, nationally and regionally recognized literary writers and those who are nationally acclaimed for their influence in historical non-fiction will teach sessions.

The conference also features staples like building your author brand, dissecting contracts and protecting yourself from libel.

As always, the AWC offers beginning and intermediate writers a chance to sharpen existing skills and learn new techniques from award-winning faculty.
