About the Conference

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Mark Bowden

BWC 2009 provides writers the opportunity to improve their craft and skills through informal panel discussions and workshops addressing aspects of writing, editing, publication and promotion. The one-day conference offers fresh perspectives in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, genre work, and the business side of writing.

Craft sessions in each discipline are led by published writers, top level agents, editors and publishers who come to Charm City to share their expert advice on how writers can hone their skills and increase their publishing savvy. Participants can also sign up for an instant assessment of their poetry, fiction or non-fiction work in quick critique sessions throughout the day.

BWC welcomes all writers to join us this year at Towson University on November 14, 2009.
