The Willamette Writers Conference offers a wide variety of workshops from some of the best professionals in the business. Topics include writing techniques, marketing, the writing life, and other "how tos." In addition, approximately 50 consultants - literary agents & editors, and film professionals- will be there to take pitches. A handful of people get their start with these consultants every year, and some go on to great success.

Note: The scholarship is for registration, which includes classes, daytime meals and snacks. Transportation, accommodation, pitch sessions and evening meals are on your own.
