Write Stuff Writer's Conference enters its 23rd year.

The annual Write Stuff Writer’s Conference hosted by the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group will be held at Best Western Lehigh Valley on April 7th, 8th and 9th. The conference offers a full day workshop, half-day workshops, a day full of hour long sessions, pitching sessions to literary agents and editors, critique sessions,a flash writing contest, book fair, and a chance to rub elbows with fellow authors along with agents and editors.

The keynote speaker for 2016 is journalist Robert Liparulo, best-selling author of the thrillers Comes a Horseman, Germ, Deadfall, Deadlock, and The 13th Tribe, as well as The Dreamhouse Kings, an action-adventure series for young adults. He will be presenting at the conference Thursday through Saturday, along with eight other presenters. Items covered range from the craft of writing to the business of writing, with such topics at ghost writing, mastering dialogue, using social media, and working with Hollywood. There will be a total of twenty two sessions, along with five workshops.

As part of the Friday evening events, attendees can sign-up ahead of time to have their work’s first page critiqued by a panel of authors, agents, or editors. Authors will listen to the comments of the panel incognito. All submissions are anonymous.

In addition, during the Saturday events, attendees can pre-arrange to meet with an agent or editor for a ten minute one-on-one, giving authors a chance to pitch their work. However, authors need to sign up as there are limited slots available.

Also on Saturday is the flash writing contest for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, one hundred words or less, the works to be submitted Saturday morning. Published authors, who attend, can arrange to have their works sold at the book fair.
