Leave with Something Tangible

Forget sitting in the back of a ballroom taking notes. Florida WritersCon 2026 is about rolling up your sleeves, practicing new skills, and connecting in-person.

Throughout the weekend you’ll write, workshop, ask questions, receive feedback, meet other writers, and actively practice the craft alongside experienced authors and industry professionals.

At Florida WritersCon 2026, you’ll have an opportunity to get hands-on with:

• 2-hour, hands-on craft workshops
• Master class with our keynote speaker, Shawn Welcome
• Introvert friendly networking (WritersConnect)
• Connections to industry professionals and experienced writers
• Book Marketing Hot Seat

You’ll be able to choose among  20+ different workshops that are focused on helping emerging and established writers sharpen their craft, discover new publishing paths, and level up their writing business. Led by experts and industry professionals, you’ll leave feeling inspired and empowered!

Whether you’re drafting your first novel or growing an established author business, Florida WritersCon 2026 is designed to help you leave with more than inspiration—you’ll leave with momentum and something tangible. Whether that’s feedback from the Book Marketing Hot Seat, writing from a hands-on craft workshop, or the email of a new writing friend.

One of the things attendees tell us every year is how welcoming the Florida writing community is. You’ll quickly find yourself surrounded by people who love books, storytelling, and cheering one another on.
