Here are what our some of our past
participants have to say:
"The SDSU Writer's Conference is wonderful!
The conference brings together authors, editors, and agents
in a collaborative setting where good things are bound to
happen."
– Matthew Holt, Executive Editor, John
Wiley & Sons
"No other conference gives you as many opportunities to meet so many top editors
and agents in one weekend. It's an incredible way to jump start your career."
"This is an EXCELLENT conference. You are idealistic, you make the editors and
agents leave any arrogance at home. They're HELPFUL here. Professional writers are
crucial to a society, and it's nourishing to EVERYONE when amateurs are encouraged.
You do an excellent job of providing information and encouragement to all levels of
writers, and that is SO hard."
"This is a GREAT conference! It's so professional and
well-organized. Editor/agent appointments ran smoothly. I
liked that many agents said "send it to me." They
all seem open to at least reading my work - so valuable! I
also found the workshops and talking to other writers very
inspirational. I enjoyed hearing their stories - what they
write and how they write. I can't wait to get back in front
of my computer!"
"I am so grateful to have attended the Writers' Conference.
It was a tremendously positive experience, providing invaluable
insight into both the business and the creative aspects to
being a professional writer. I'm so thankful to SDSU for providing
such a wonderful opportunity."
"The agents and editors were all kind and generous with
their individual time! Very much appreciated by all."
"Kudos for another EXCELLENT conference. Well organized,
great range of topics, excellent range of speakers. Thank
you."
"Great administration, great practical sessions, excellent
quality of presenters."
"...I travel to many conferences around the country.
In my humble opinion, the SDSU Conference is by far the best,
both in terms of opportunity and information! Thank you! Thank
you! Thank you! See you next year!"
