The good news? Registration for the 2024 Lakefly Writers Conference is open!
The bad news? You’ll notice a price increase. The registration fee was last raised in 2018 and maintaining financial sustainability will ensure the event’s continuation – something we all want.
The “new” news? In response to a demand for a local book fair and to expand the customer base of our vendors, we’re introducing a stand-alone Lakefly Book Fair. Same location but separated from the conference.
The book fair will be free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 4. Plans include scheduled book signings and specialized “author alleys.” Please note: The number of vendor tables is limited to 50.
What’s the same?
- Free pitch sessions
- An opportunity to have a professional photo taken for use on social media, book jackets, etc.
- One-on-one sessions with writing and marketing coaches
- Lakefly After Hours Open Mic
… and another wonderful line-up of speakers whom we will begin to announce shortly!
You can register for the conference, the conference and a vendor’s table, or just a vendor’s table. The early-bird rate ends March 10.
I can’t wait to see you!
