In 2008 (or was it 2009? It was so long ago!), I attended an online writing conference called MuseItUp. It was done in chatrooms and forums and it was amazing! I learned so much, made lifelong friends, and even got a book contract. 

The year before, some of us Catholic writers had started the Guild, and we’d talked about having a conference, but a live one was so much work for the few of us there were—not to mention the expense. But what about an online one?

That year, Ann Lewis and I created the Catholic Writers Conference Online. It was a blast, with chats and classes. The next year, we added pitch sessions. Now, twenty-five years later, it has launched careers, brought writers together, and helped forward the mission of bringing great Catholic writing—and writers—into the world.

The next conference is January 31-Feb 2, 2025. We have 24 webinars covering writing (fiction and nonfiction), promotions and marketing, AI, and (of course) the influence of faith in writing. We have seven publishers and an agent ready to hear pitches. We even have two practices scheduled to help you get ready (Feb 3 and 4).

It’ll be our best conference yet, but we need the secret ingredient.

You.

If you’ve been looking for something to jumpstart your writing, revitalize your motivation, or just get you pumped up—or if you’re new to writing or looking to grow your knowledge, there’s no better place and time. 

Join us Friday, January 31 – February 2, with pitch practice on Feb. 3 & 4, and pitch sessions on Feb. 10-13.

The cost is $65 for nonmembers and $45 for CWG members. (Find the coupon code in the #online-conference thread on Heartbeat)
