Catholic Writers Conference Live 2019 Returning to Lancaster, PA

The Catholic Writers Guild (CWG) is hosting Catholic Writers Conference Live (CWCL) July 30 - August 2, 2019 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in conjunction with the Catholic Marketing Network's CMN Momentum 2019 Tradeshow. The CWCL provides writers, artists, editors, and illustrators opportunities for networking; workshops on writing, publishing, and marketing; pitch sessions; critique sessions; and more.

Attendees have access to the CMN Tradeshow floor, allowing interactions with publishers, vendors, and bookstore owners from across the country. Also in conjunction with CMN, prayer and liturgical events and a mini-pilgrimage will be offered.

Popular speaker, author, CatholicTV personality, and CatholicMom.com Brand Manager Danielle Bean will deliver the keynote address. Workshop presenters include Patti Maguire Armstrong, Celeste Bene, Donna Heckler, Lisa Mladinich, Heidi Saxton, and many more. Of special interest is this year's Podcast Panel.

Separate workshops will be offered for poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
Pitch sessions are planned with publishers Ave Maria Press, Pauline Books and Media, and Our Sunday Visitor.
Back this year, Meals with Mentors are a chance to share food and discuss a topic of mutual interest with a small group.
