PROMINENT AUTHORS AND AGENTS READY TO CONVERGE IN
VIRGINIA FOR 11TH JAMES RIVER WRITERS CONFERENCE
Two-day event features workshops, inspiration for up
and coming writers
RICHMOND, Va. –
Writers, mark your calendars. The James River Writers Conference is celebrating its
11th year as one of the most prestigious gatherings of published
authors, literary agents and editors in the country with a two-day event that
will inspire and educate writers on the rise.
The James River Writers Conference returns to Richmond on
October 19 and 20 with an impressive lineup of literary professionals, writing
workshops and opportunities for aspiring writers to pitch their book ideas,
hone their skills and connect with nationally recognized authors and
publishers.
This year’s conference features an extensive list of
esteemed guests and speakers including award-winning book designer and writer Chip Kidd, National Book Award-winner Kathryn Erskine and best-selling,
awardwinning author Christopher
McDougall. Also making appearances at the conference are award-winning
authors Cece Bell, Lydia Netzer, Megan Mayhew Bergman and Philippa
Ballantine. Book Doctors and Pitchapalooza founders Arielle Eckstut and David
Henry Sterry will be on hand, and don’t forget to make time for agents
including April Eberhardt, Deborah Grosvenor, Victoria Skurnick and Paige
Wheeler.
Year after year, the conference is lauded for its
remarkable programs and its noteworthy influence on the writing community. It’s
no wonder why hundreds of people have been flocking to central Virginia each
fall since 2003.
“The James River Writers Conference [is]
one of the best writers’ conferences in America,” says David Henry Sterry,
of The Book Doctors. “If you’re a writer, do yourself a favor,
get yourself to Richmond, Va., and go to this conference. It’s filled with
warm, generous, talented writers, editors and agents.”
Registration for the annual conference is open, and writing
sessions are already filling up. Find more details and a full list of programs

The
2013 conference is supported by BrownGreer, VCU Libraries, Richmond
