Professional guidance you’re looking for! MWW helps writers become published authors!
The aim of MWW is to give all writers the opportunity to improve their craft, to associate with highly credentialed professionals, and to network with other writers.
How It Works
We have 40+ different instructional sessions during our 3-day program on everything from fiction to nonfiction, marketing, and ways to get your creative juices flowing. Thursday focuses on genre-specific intensive sessions. Friday and Saturday are packed with agent pitch sessions, manuscript evaluations (additional fee), writing contests (win money & prizes!), our popular “Buttonhole the Experts” informal session, and final awards banquet.

What Others Say
“Midwest Writers Workshop is by far the friendliest conference I’ve ever taken part in. The open environment and gracious organizers ensure that every writer arrives feeling welcomed and leaves feeling inspired. The instructors there genuinely care about the attendees and go the extra mile to help someone in need. I wish every writer could enjoy the heart-felt support and expert instruction that this event offers.”
“The Midwest Writers Workshop is a must for serious writers who want a well-organized, informative, friendly, and inspiring conference experience. MWW boasts something for everyone, from the novice writer who is just getting his/her feet wet, to the professional writer seeking networking opportunities with other publishing professionals. This is one of the best conferences we have had the pleasure to be a part of. . . interacting with the talented and inquisitive writers, organizers, and other faculty members and speakers. MWW mixes professionalism with Hoosier hospitality—a winning combination!”
“This expertly-managed event is located in a stunning facility and offers a broad spectrum of helps to both professional and aspiring writers. I should have come when I was just starting out.”
