Taylor University’s Professional Writing Conference offers the highest quality at the lowest price!
You’ll be taught and meet privately with editors, agents and professional writers who will help you get your work published.
The two-day conference on the Upland, Indiana, campus is sponsored by Taylor University’s respected Professional Writing program chaired by Dr. Dennis Hensley.
Plan to attend 2018 now! This year’s conference sold out, so we’re working to increase our faculty and programming to accommodate many more writers.
Details for the third annual conference will be online soon, but for now, check out the 2017 avaluations and the outstanding faculty and program from 2017.
What others saying:
An excellent, truly “professional” conference from beginning to end. A well-thought-out roster of faculty and keynoters. This is a conference you do not want to miss if you want to be published. Cindy Sproles, author, speaker, managing editor Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas.
This is a conference for those writers serious about getting into print, featuring professional editors, agents and writers who are experts in the craft and marketing for publication. James N. Watkins, award-winning author and speaker.
This is an awesome conference! Where else can you attend a two-day conference with a super faculty of presenters for less than a hundred bucks?! Bam! Amazing conference! Linda Glaz, author and literary agent.
The campus is easy to navigate. The food is great. The panel of instructors is top notch, and I especially like the fact that they are so approachable and willing to offer constructive criticism and advice. I love everything about this conference, and I hope it continues for years to come and that I am able to be a participant. Jodi, 2017 attendee
It was truly the best conference I have ever attended. The spirituality was there. The fellowship and food were wonderful. Most of all, the quality of the presentations was superb. Christina, 2017 attendee
