Attending my first writers’ conference over 20 years ago was the BEST THING I ever did for my writing and getting published. The people you will meet are working in publishing every day - they know what is really happening.
Our speakers will inspire you, nudge you to be a better writer.
Our speakers will tell you exactly how to sell more books, gain publicity, and find the readers who will follow you book to book.
And the agents and producers are looking for stories, could one be yours?
Join us on November 2 & 3 –
it’s going to be a rewarding experience for all!

October 15 is the deadline for conference discount prices on rooms at the Mandalay Beach Resort in Oxnard Shores. Every room is a suite with two full bathrooms and steps away from the beach overlooking the beautiful Channel Islands.
After a day in conference sessions, doesn’t having a drink while watching the sunset sound like a great idea?
And you will be meeting the people whose ideas will help you get published and sell more books. |

"The 805 Writers' Conference was an incredible value and I would definitely recommend it to new or established authors. Unfortunately the day went by too quickly! I had an amazing experience and accomplished everything I wanted to, and then some."
