About the Conference
The conference programming will focus on supporting quality historical writing – fiction and nonfiction, research, the submission process, the road to publication, and the life of a historical writer. There will be a mix of sessions on the craft of writing and genre and era specific knowledge (food, clothing, language) as well as the business side of publishing including self/indie publishing, marketing and publicity and social media techniques. While many of the sessions are geared specifically to historical writing, this year the focus is on the craft of writing - in all genres.
The 2 1/2 day conference will also offer
- "Master Class" pre-conference workshop
- Agent Pitches
- Keynote dinner events
- Book signing event featuring books by conference presenters and participants
- Creative ways for attendees to network and collaborate
