The following description comes from the event organizer.

At Willamette Writers, we are passionate about the community, craft, and career of all writers.

This year's conference will be completely online via Zoom! That means you get a front row seat for all of our keynotes, workshops, panels, and events! 

We’re making it even easier for you to pitch to your selected agents without having to worry about missing out on workshop programming, by offering pitching and critiques July 29th and 30th, and our workshops and panels on July 31st and August 1st.

Our keynote speakers will be New York Times best-selling Young Adult and Sci-Fi author, Daniel José Older, and PEN/Bellwether Prize winner for socially engaged fiction and Portland-born author, Heidi W. Durrow.

Conference registration gains you access to sign up for Master Classes: 6 hour focused classes led by a curated group of revered authors! 

Registering for our conference will also enable you to pitch your ideas to a stellar lineup of agents who want to hear from you! 

We are also excited to share that your registration enables you to opt-in to receive a free e-copy of our literary journal, the Timberline Review! 

We thank you for being part of our community, and can’t wait for you to join us this summer!
