After years of toiling in the dungeons of writing purgatory, the long-awaited day of publication has arrived. Now what? Three debut novelists discuss the changes being a published author has brought into their writing and personal lives, what they’ve learned, and what they would have done differently.

Panelists: JD Jordan, Ricki Schultz
Moderator: Lauren Vogelbaum 

2nd Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference

The 2nd Annual Broadleaf Writers Writers Conference will return September 23-24, 2017, at the Decatur Library in downtown Decatur, Georgia. Headlined by an all-star cast of talented writers, agents and editors, and educational sessions packed with insightful information and experience, our conference will offer you all that you need to refine and improve your craft, and get you on the road toward publication!

Attending a writing conference is an opportunity to invest in yourself as a writer, to learn from experts, and to become a part of a community of writers that inspire, uplift and support one another!

In addition to attending sessions, you will have the opportunity to schedule a five-minute one-on-one session with an agent. We’re in the process of adding our agents, so please check back with us soon for more information!

On Saturday, we will also be presenting a First Pages Critique featuring a panel of our confirmed literary agents. Once you have registered, be sure to submit your first page and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to get your manuscript on the right path!
