Pinch ’em by the nose (with a pitch or query letter that demands attention) and kick ’em in the ass (with riveting prose that won’t let go)! Succeed at doing both and you’re halfway there with readers. Most writers don’t. At least not on their first go-round. Some never recover. Don’t be that sad writer. Be at the SCWC where craft is where it’s at and community is key.
Dates for our 41st annual San Diego event are Martin Luther King Weekend, January 15-17, 2027. Become the writer you aspire to be and join us.
SCWC41 LOCATION: Our 41st annual event will be held, as usual, in San Diego’s Mission Valley, mere minutes from Lindbergh Field International Airport, Sea World, Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, historic Old Town and downtown’s famous Gaslamp District
SCWC*SD41 SCHEDULE: To inform, inspire, encourage and reward both emerging and accomplished writers is what the SCWC has done since 1986. We’ll do so again come January.
SCWC*SD41 STAFF: Accomplished authors, editors, agents, and other publishing professionals will be there. Subscribe to periodic .COMmunity updates to find out who, along with all other SCWC news.
