About Us
The 35-year-old Santa Barbara Writers Conference is the nation's preeminent conference for writers interested in improving their craft, primarily through workshops that focus on the reading and critiquing of each writer'€s work. Our largest and most comprehensive gathering is in June, when more than 400 writers gather for five days to learn from each other, hear from other successful authors, and interact with publishing world professionals. Every March, SBWC also offers a national poetry conference featuring a major U.S. poet, and throughout the year there are weekend intensives designed for small groups to ensure individual attention.

Join us June 21-26,2008!
