MOVE YOU & YOUR STORY FORWARD

A virtual weekend of learning, connection, and forward momentum for women’s fiction writers.

June 12-13, 2026

This two-day virtual writers’ conference will feature 60- and 90-minute sessions on Zoom led by experts as well as blocks reserved for informal break-out room conversations and agent pitch sessions. The conference runs from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Eastern) each day. We are now accepting session proposals from both WFWA members and non-members.

SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL HERE

The deadline for proposals is March 15, 2026.

Attendees will include traditionally and self-published authors, as well as emerging writers. Please be sure that your workshop clearly addresses one of these cohorts.

We strongly encourage proposals to align with one or more of the following themes, but feel free to interpret this framework loosely:

W — Write & Strengthen the Story

Craft fundamentals that build a strong narrative foundation, i.e., structure, pacing, conflict, character arcs, scenes that matter.

R — Revise With Purpose

Strategies to transform drafts into their strongest form, i.e., revision frameworks, developmental editing, tightening prose.

I — Intensity & Impact

Amplify emotion, resonance, and your unique storytelling voice. i.e., theme, subtext, relationships, immersive scenes, reader connection.

T — Thrive as a Writer

Mindset and motivation that sustain the creative life, i.e., confidence, habits, time management, and creativity and wellness.

E — Expand Your Author Path

Professional skills to reach and retain readers, i.e., querying, publishing options, platform, branding and marketing, and legal affairs to address copyright, AI, and other matters.

If you are interested, please submit your session. If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected].
