2017 THEME: WORDS HAVE VALUE

Wherever your words take you in 2017, the Willamette Writers Conference is the premier stop on the journey. We’ve brought together teachers, speakers, writers, agents, editors, and producers from across North America to create a world-class curriculum for beginning and advanced writers alike. We’ve also gathered a collection of editors, web designers, layout specialists and similar professionals who make their own living helping writers make their living. They’ll be on hand to assess your work and advise you on what to do next.
