SCWA announces 2023 Storyfest Fall Conference

South Carolina Writers Association
announces 2023 Storyfest Nov. 3-5

 
Registration opens today, May 1, for 2023 Storyfest, South Carolina Writers Association's annual conference, set for Nov. 3 through 5 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia.

The in-person event will feature something for writers of all levels — critiques and pitches, pre-conference workshops, Q&A panels, craft and publishing talks, keynotes, a slushfest, a queryfest, an open mic and more.

Want to pitch your writing project to editors and agents?

Want to learn how to market your book? Hear about the publishing industry? Learn how to write a great short story, novel, poem or screenplay?

We've got you covered. More than 20 agents, editors, authors, poets, screenwriters and journalists will be there  for three days of inspiration, camaraderie and learning.

The lineup includes National Book Award winner Jason Mott, the author of Hell of a Book and The Returned; Janisse Ray, the celebrated Georgia author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood; Ashley Poston, the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics; and Columbia author Claire Jimenez, whose just-published novel, What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez, is a USA Today must-read title.

Best of all, the early bird price is the same as last year — no increase if you act before June 30!
