Mission Statement
The Philadelphia Writers’ Conference is committed to bringing the writers of the wonderfully diverse Philadelphia community together for instruction, counsel, fellowship, and the exchange of ideas.
Description
Founded in 1949, the Philadelphia Writers' Conference is the longest continuously running, open registration conference in the nation. We are a small organization, led by a volunteer board, dedicated to being a source of learning and connection within the Philadelphia Writers Community. We traditionally hold an annual conference in June (2021 will be virtual), as well as additional events throughout the year. We'd ultimately like to expand our partnerships throughout the community, and to be a nexus point that helps writers and artists of all types to connect and find resources that help them.
