Kate Farrell at the San Francisco Writers Conference

Presenters this year will include best-selling authors, literary agents, acquiring editors, indie editors, and publishers from major publishing houses as well as small presses. There will be experts on self-publishing, book promotion, platform building, social media, audiobooks, podcasting, and author websites.

What happens at the SFWC?

The event spans four days…and also offers optional Pre- and Post-Event 3-hour Master Classes!

There is copious networking with the very people who can advance your writing career, a glorious gala, keynotes and continental breakfasts, lots of social interaction with other writers, our Pub Quiz, and an invaluable ‘practice your pitch’ session. Want feedback? Attendees can have a free one-on-one session with an independent editor, book coach, and marketing expert. There will be exhibitors with services and tools for writers, too.

 

If you are working on your book, getting ready to publish it, or looking for ways to promote an already published book, this is the event  you need to attend.  

What to expect at the SFWC?

All attendees get a commemorative tote bag with writing goodies! The SFWC offers so much social and one-on-one networking time with other writers and industry professionals. After-hours hosted networking events, poetry happenings, No-pitch/No-host meet ups in the bar? You bet. Don’t want to eat dinner alone? There is a no-host dinner every night at a different San Francisco restaurant. Our attendees tell us this friendly yet professional atmosphere is what makes SFWC the conference they choose to attend.

The Hyatt Regency San Francisco is where the SFWC takes place. It is located a short stroll from the Ferry Building, directly in front of the Embarcadero BART station. It is especially convenient for those of you flying in to San Francisco airport as the SFO BART station is located inside the international terminal.
