Crossroads Writers Conference - Macon, GA

At the 4th annual Crossroads Writers Conference, we recognize that sometimes the hardest thing about writing... is the writing. As hundreds of writers have discovered, Crossroads will help give you the insight, motivation and connections to get your writing done. That's why we bring such creative, versatile and prolific professionals for you to meet and with whom to hang out.

Some of our other guests--novelists, screenwriters, poets, memoirists, comic book writers and freelancers--include New York Times bestseller Adam Mansbach, the critically-acclaimed Bernice McFadden, cult lit "penmonkey" Chuck Wendig, writer/producer Nichelle Tramble, "Louder Than a Bomb" co-founder Kevin Coval, Forbes.com blogger Susannah Breslin, Ga Writers Association co-founder Tony Grooms, writing coach Rosemary Daniell, graphic novelist Robert Venditti and several others.

The conference is uniquely structured with lots of breaks so you can be social. The schedule is anchored by Talk Blocks, two blocks of short, focused talks by our headliners about the things that move them the most. We follow each one with Speak Easy informal panels and breakout workshops. At lunch, the founder of National Novel Writing Month, Chris Baty, is delivering our keynote.

The writers conference is October 6, 2012, at the Wilson Convention Center in Macon, Georgia. We kick things off Friday, October 5, with the Freelancers Summit, a special half day dedicated to freelance writers.
