More About Sponsoring the Conference
Sponsors help our nonprofit maintain its high level of professional excellence while defraying the costs of organizing and hosting such a large conference. At the same time, our sponsors enjoy a high-profile presence at the conference itself and are featured in SFWC materials and media all year round.
In addition to our signature live conference, we also produce other events happening around the same week, including the Poetry Summit, the Writing for Teens Summit, and the San Francisco Writing for Change conference the only one of its kind in the world to enlighten activists on how they can change the world through writing. And we offer classes for writers throughout the year.
It's an incredibly active and passionate writing community that our sponsors and advertiser can tap into by supporting us.Â

What Attendees are Saying about the Conference
"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."
- Mark Coker, Founder of Smashwords
"Our team visited the San Francisco Writers Conference and it was among the best conferences that we've attended. We were lucky enough to chat with some PublishDrive authors and got to hear about the exciting books they're working on. We were also thrilled to award two lucky authors with gift certificates for a FREE year of Subscription Pricing. 🙂"Â
- Kinga Jentetics, Founder of PublishDrive
"This was my tenth year as a speaker at the San Francisco Writers Conference, and though I speak at many other events throughout each year, it remains my favorite for several reasons. SFWC fosters community with the attendees by encouraging agents, editors, speakers, and media pros to network at event mixers and meals. SFWC also attracts talented publishing industry professionals and writers alike. Each year, we see writers land book deals and reach goals they wouldn't otherwise achieve without the conference. I'm proud to play a small part in this wonderful event."Â
- Stephanie Chandler, Founder of the Nonfiction Writers Association
