2026 Conference Schedule

Legend says there are two types of writers: “pantsers” (who write by the seat of their pants), and us, the “planners.” Our outline-loving presenters, with a collective fifteen published books, work in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, playwriting, anthology, and translation. We’ll share the details of our diverse, self-honed processes, including: drawing, diagramming, plot “highways” that allow for “off-roading,” and open first drafts leading to beat sheets. Plus our love of art supplies!
