“From 2010 to 2014, the popular online kidlit conference
WriteOnCon offered writers a unique opportunity to learn and grow their craft,
all from the comfort of their own homes. Over 13,000 people attended during the
last year! Unfortunately, increasing time commitments meant the organizers were
unable to continue the event in subsequent years. But now WriteOnCon is
returning, with a new organizing team but the same purpose: to provide an
affordable and fun conference experience that’s accessible to everyone.” ~ The 2017 WriteOnCon Team
If you attended WriteOnCon in the past, then I needn’t say
anymore, and you can skip the rest of this post. But for anyone unfamiliar with
WOC, this is a 3-day online writing conference for kidlit writers. There are
writing forums where you can get feedback on your query or first five pages,
blog posts, live events – and Ninja Agents! The Ninja Agents – real life
literary agents appearing anonymously – sneak into the forums to read, comment,
and sometimes request! WOC has all the benefits of a big writing conference and none of the disadvantages: high costs, travel expenses, having to wear pants, etc.
The time for Early Registration is NOW. It’s easy; it’s
affordable; and there are perks. Critiques are on offer from agents, editors,
and published authors – and they’re selling out fast. (But don’t worry. I keep
seeing new ones being added.)

See you there!
