Why Book Conferences Are Worth The Investment

You don’t need me to tell you that conferences are invaluable. Knowing that, take this conference boost as a gentle reminder.

Whenever I attend a conference, I’m energized, inspired, rife with new ideas, and overflowing with amazing connections. Conferences are not just about learning the craft or having a favorite book signed by the author. While those are valuable takeaways, there are lots of other reasons why you should attend conferences focused on writing and books.

Here are a few of mine: 

  • Finding your “peeps”—those who “get you!”
  • Meeting new writing buddies and accountability peers
  • Honing your craft through learning from the experts
  • Building your knowledge of the publishing industry
  • Finding critique partners who can help you polish your work
  • Getting to pitch to agents and publishers
  • Gaining some serious momentum and inspiration

Now that you’re pumped to attend a conference, which one should you invest in? Good question. Some are certainly highbrow literary, where others are a romping good time. If I could attend all the ones that I’d like to, I would be traveling around the world every week. Since that isn’t possible, especially if I want to get any work done, I’ve selected a few that I’ve attended.

I’ve also added a few that I’d like to attend to the list below. 

It doesn’t stop here. Let me know what conferences you love and why. Let’s make this page a resource of sharing, learning, and uplifting each other through books!
