2023 Writers Conference

2023 Writers Conference 

Another year, another conference. We hope you are at home writing and plotting and writing and revising and writing. And then writing some more. If you need another shot in the arm, we’ve impulsively planned a Writers Conference Redux with three of the sessions we saw folks get turned away from for space.

Writers Conference Redux

Friday, Dec. 15, 2023
Antioch Library -  8700 Shawnee Mission Pkwy

Writing Your Award-winning Children’s Book with Ronda Miller

Noon – 2 p.m.

Submitting Your Work for Publication with Ryan Bernsten
