What our participants have to say

The runner-up in the children’s category of the SFWC Writing Contest last year (Melissa Savage) will be introduced at the 2016 SFWC… I sold her winning entry, LEMONS, in a 2-book, $200,000 deal to a Big Five publisher.
Testimonial 1

Laurie McLean, Fuse Literary founder

Thank you for including me in your amazing conference. I had multiple
writers approach me and gush about the conference. Each used the word,
“love.” They said they could feel the genuine love and support of everyone.
Testimonial 2

Mark Coker, Founder of Smashwords

The SFWC gave me everything I needed to make it over the finish line! I met my website designer there. I talked to other writers and many helpful experts on publishing.  I loved the enthusiasm and supportive community.
Testimonial 3

Susan Silver, Hot Pants in Hollywood
