FACULTY

2025 WRITERS CONFERENCE

Learn from the best! Every year, we bring in a quality faculty of industry professionals – agents, editors, authors, and marketing and business experts – chosen to represent the variety of publishing methods, genres, interests, and ethnicities our writers represent.

Our faculty is excited to meet with you. If you're thinking of making a coaching/critique appointment or an appointment with an agent/editor at the conference, please review each faculty's genres and specialties before registering for an appointment with them. Use the filters below to narrow your search, and then click on the faculty's card to read their full bio and details. (Note that here the term *editor* refers to someone acquiring for a traditional publishing house vs. self/hybrid/indie publishing or freelance editors.)
