Your Next Chapter Starts Here

There are writing conferences, and then there’s the Pikes Peak Writers Conference.

For more than 30 years, PPWC has brought writers together in Colorado Springs for three days of craft, connection and real-world publishing insight. Our faculty includes bestselling and award-winning authors, literary agents, editors and publishing professionals. These are people who know what it takes to turn a story idea into a finished book and a writing career into a sustainable one.

But what makes PPWC special isn’t simply the caliber of our faculty. It’s what happens when all those people come together in one place.

Maybe you’re writing your first novel and trying to figure out where to begin. Maybe you’ve finished your manuscript and are ready to query. Maybe you’re already published and looking for the next way to grow your audience, sharpen your craft or navigate an ever-changing industry.

Wherever you are in your journey, have we got a deal for you!

Over three days, you’ll find workshops designed to challenge and inspire, opportunities to pitch to agents and editors, conversations about the business of publishing, and plenty of time to connect with other writers who understand why you keep coming back to the page.

PPWC has been recognized as one of the top regional writing conferences in the country, and we intend to keep earning that reputation.

So mark your calendar for April 23–25, 2027.

Bring your story. Bring your questions. Bring the book you’ve been dreaming about.

We’ll bring the people, knowledge and community to help you take the next step.

Registration opens November 1.
