5th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference

“I had the opportunity to present at the Broadleaf Writers Conference in 2019, and it was an absolute gift. The programming was thoughtfully organized, featuring a broad range of craft and industry topics from a diverse group of presenters. The participants were passionate, warm, and eager to learn and share knowledge. Broadleaf really feels like an intimate, safe environment for writers at every level of experience. I recommend this conference – and this community – wholeheartedly.”
~~Becky Albertalli, NYT bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

The 5th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference will return October 17-18, 2020! We may be moving online for 2020, but we’ve still assembled one of the strongest list of writers you will ever find at a conference and put together a fun and educational schedule of sessions and workshops. The 5th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference will offer you all that you need to refine and improve your craft and get you on the road toward publication. And for 2020 we’ve reduced the cost, to help offset the trials of a very difficult year for us all!

Attending a writing conference is an opportunity to invest in yourself as a writer, to learn from experts, and to become a part of a community of writers that inspire, uplift and support one another!

With your registration, you will receive access to all sessions of the 5th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference and you will be able to schedule a one-on-one with a literary agent! If you’re not sure who you’d like to meet when you register, visit our One-on-One page later for more information, select your agent preference, and email us with your choice! Sessions fill quickly, so don’t miss out on your chance to meet the agent of your choice! 

On Saturday, we will once again present a First Pages Critique featuring a panel of agents and publishers representatives. Once you have registered, be sure to submit your first page and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to get your manuscript on the right path! In addition, you may choose to schedule a personal ten-minute one-on-one First Page critique with NYT bestselling author David L. Robbins!
