**Calling all writers!** Find your path to publishing. Meet literary agents, network with other writers, and learn from pros in the publishing business. Come to the conference to pitch to top-tier agents, and stay for the supportive community of writers.

**\*\*Note from Liza\*\*** This is my favorite writers conference. I try to go every year. The experiences I have had here have been invaluable as I build my author career. This year, I'll be on a panel for debut authors, featuring my book *Two Novembers: A Memoir of Love ’n’ Sex in Sonnets*. Get the best deal by registering by December 31.
