Pennwriters 33rd Annual Conference Overview
General Schedule
COVID-19 Update: Conference Closure
Due to unprecedented events gripping our nation, we will not be able to move forward with the 33rd Pennwriters Annual Conference at the DoubleTree Resort in Lancaster this May. We are heartbroken that we won’t be able to assemble Pennwriters and guests for a weekend of learning and networking. We thank all of you for your interest in the event and hope to connect with you at Pennwriters Presents on Facebook, during our online classes, and at the 2021 Pennwriters Conference in Pittsburgh next May. Many area writers groups are meeting via Zoom during this crisis. Please watch www.pennwriters.org and our social media pages for announcements.
If you made a hotel reservation directly with the DoubleTree Resort in Lancaster, please cancel your reservation by calling (717) 464-2711. If you registered for the conference, you will be receiving a refund by check before April 30 to the address on your registration.
Please contact Leslie and Ayleen, the
Conference Coordinators with any questions.
The 33rd Annual Pennwriters Conference features three days of workshops, panels, and networking to help you take your writing from concept to finished project — no matter what that finished project is. All three days feature an open attendance slate of one-hour workshops on all things writing. Simply take whichever classes best fit your writing needs. The pre-conference intensive on Thursday features an all-day session with author of over 70 books, Susan Meier.
