Write To Publish – Conference 2025

REGISTER NOW

If I’m called to write, why is it so difficult?

We begin the writing journey thrilled by possibilities.

I have a story to tell. Readers to reach. This book will change lives.

But writing is hard work. We experience rejection. Fight uncertainty.

Doubts creep in, and we start to listen.

My writing isn’t good enough. No one will read this. I’m wasting my time.

Here’s a little secret:

Every successful author has been where you are now.

What separates published authors from aspiring writers isn’t talent alone—it’s perseverance, craft, and connection.

Write to Publish isn’t just another conference.

Meet face-to-face with agents and editors actively seeking new voices

Master your craft through intensive classes and workshops led by industry professionals

Build a network of fellow writers who understand your journey

Discover the path to publication that’s right for YOUR unique story

Reignite the passion that started you on this journey

Write to Publish has launched and strengthened many writing careers—we’re here for you.

Write to Publish is FUN!

Join us for three and a half days of focused learning and writing at historic Wheaton College, easily accessible from anywhere in the U.S.—and beyond! Between sessions, walk the picturesque campus to recharge. Enjoy all-you-care-to-eat meals at Cafe Bon Apetit, Wheaton’s award-winning cafeteria with delicious options for everyone.

While you’re here, explore two beloved landmarks right on campus: the Billy Graham Museum and the Wade Center. Fans of authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Dorothy Sayers, and George MacDonald can even schedule a research session or tour at the Wade Center. If you’re a Narnia enthusiast, don’t miss the iconic Wardrobe (and yes, it’s full of fur coats).

Your Writing is Worth the Investment

For less than the cost of most editing services, you’ll gain insights, connections, and motivation that could be the difference between an unpublished manuscript and a finished book. We’re committed to keeping the cost of Write to Publish low and packing in as much value as possible.
