Evening with Authors

Saturday Conference only - early reg by check

🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at the Southwest Washington Writers Conference. It&#39;s an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 Since 2014, the Southwest Washington Writers Conference has provided writers with a craft-focused experience. Held at Centralia College, the event consists of master classes on Friday and opens on Saturday with keynote speakers, followed by a day full of workshops. This volunteer-run conference seeks to motivate, inspire, and encourage writers at all career stages. Because this conference is fully volunteer-run, the details you provide here guide our scheduling, communication, and support. Proceeds benefit scholarships through the Centralia College Foundation and keep the conference going for future storytellers. Optional AAUW Evening with Authors in the TransAlta Commons: Doors open at 6 p.m. A moderated discussion by Doris Wood with Kristina McMorris, Rosanne Parry, and Shawn Inmon. Thank you for supporting our writing community. Your support is invaluable.
