The hand-picked, all volunteer faculty includes multiple New York Times bestselling authors to nationally recognized agents, editors, publishers, and media experts. The conference offers writers of all levels the opportunity to learn more about the art, craft, and business of writing in one of the most intimate settings possible.  Dedicated to fostering great relationships, the La Jolla Writer’s Conference has welcomed attendees from more than 43 states and 4 countries.  Named by Writers Digest as “one of the 84 conferences worth your money,” this gathering is a non-commercial learning place, with no up-sell, and a maximum of 200 attendees.  Your only additional cost is lodging and any books that you choose to purchase.
