The Great White Art is what John Gardner called it, what it is that  we, the  writer, do. While art it may be, today's transmedia market realities dictate that it's the faceless reader who we, the commercial writer, are ultimately writing for. Communicating successfully to that reader is what the Southern California Writers' Conference is all about.

Founded and run by working  writers the SCWC provides authoritative  guidance  to help distinguish  material ready for market consideration,  having facilitated  nearly $4 million  worth of first-time authors' book and screen deals.  With extended  one-on-one evaluation of advance submissions  and dozens  of read & critique and Q&A workshops available, the  SCWC is  uniquely tailored to empower writers of every level  with the vital tools,  networking and industry expertise needed to sell  their work.

It's what we do.

So whether you're a writer just  starting out, a writer unable to  determine why your work's not working, a  writer simply in  search of  some answers, a writer wanting feedback on what you've  written, or just  a writer who wants to hang with other  writers, join us for the Ninth  Annual Southern California Writers'  Conference *LA (in Newport Beach), Sept. 23-25, 2011.

Your words are worth it!
