Build Your Future

What comes next for your writing?

Join Willamette Writers in Portland and online for our 57th Annual Conference, August 5–8, 2027, and spend a weekend building the future you want as a writer. Connect with fellow writers and a vibrant creative community. Develop your craft through practical workshops, keynotes, critiques, and conversations with award-winning authors. Meet literary agents, editors, publishers, producers, and other industry professionals who can help you understand the path from manuscript to publication and beyond.

Whether you’re writing your first pages, revising a finished manuscript, querying agents, building a publishing career, or looking for your next creative challenge, you’ll find opportunities to learn, connect, and move your work forward.

The future is yours.
