Two-day event

RICHMOND, Va. – Writers, mark your
calendars. The James River Writers Conference is celebrating its 11th year as one of the most prestigious gatherings of published
authors, literary agents and editors in the country with a two-day event that will inspire and
educate writers on the rise.
The James
River Writers Conference returns to Richmond on October 19 and 20 with an
impressive lineup of literary professionals, writing workshops and opportunities
for aspiring writers to pitch their book ideas, hone their skills and connect
with nationally recognized authors and publishers.
This
year’s conference features an extensive list of esteemed guests and speakers
including award-winning book designer and writer Chip Kidd, National Book
Award-winner Kathryn Erskine and best-selling, awardwinning author Christopher McDougall. Also making appearances
at the conference are award-winning authors Cece
Bell, Lydia Netzer, Megan Mayhew Bergman and Philippa Ballantine. Book Doctors and Pitchapalooza founders Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry will be on hand, and don’t
forget to make time for agents including April
Eberhardt, Deborah Grosvenor, Victoria Skurnick and Paige Wheeler.
Year
after year, the conference is lauded for its remarkable programs and its noteworthy
influence on the writing community. It’s no wonder why hundreds of people have
been flocking to central Virginia each fall since 2003.
“The James River Writers Conference [is] one of the best writers’
conferences in America,” says David Henry Sterry, of
The Book Doctors. “If you’re a writer, do yourself a favor, get yourself to
Richmond, Va., and go to this
conference. It’s filled with warm, generous, talented writers, editors and
agents.”
Registration
for the annual conference is open, and writing sessions are already filling up.
