Central Coast Writers' Conference Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship/Underwriting Opportunity
The 51反差黑料 Central Coast Writers鈥� Conference (CCWC) has been helping new and established writers fulfill their dreams since 1984. This year鈥檚 event will be held on Friday and Saturday, September 26 and 27, 2025.
Now in its 41st year, CCWC was named 鈥淏est Writers Conference in the West鈥� by Writing Life Magazine and is the premier event for creatives in San Luis Obispo County. As one of the longest continuous writers鈥� events in the country, CCWC is well-known for inspiring all aspects in the life of writers, both locally and those visiting from out of the area.
Our CCWC staff and volunteers are planning a variety of workshops featuring experts in various genres including published authors, screenwriters, editors, agents, and publishers. We offer classes, networking, and mentoring to ensure connection and success for beginning and more advanced writers. In addition, we offer Master Classes in the areas of Memoir, Screenwriting, AI for Authors, Editing, Publishing, and Marketing. Attendees will also have the opportunity to pitch their work or have their work critiqued by a selection of editors, agents, and publishers.
Our conference simply would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. If you are a past sponsor, we want to express our immense gratitude for your contribution and look forward to your continued support.
