Tacoma Community College’s Continuing Education department is thrilled to announce the 11th Annual Write in the Harbor regional writers conference. This exciting event will take place November 7 and 8, 2025, in beautiful Gig Harbor, Washington’s Maritime City. We anticipate that the conference will be attended by a diverse community of aspiring writers, established authors, and industry professionals.
The Write in the Harbor Writers Conference has become a highly anticipated event in the writing community. Our conference provides a unique opportunity for writers to connect with fellow creatives, learn from industry professionals, and develop their skills in a supportive environment.
We are currently accepting proposals for workshops and panels supporting this year’s theme; “Craft, Creativity & Connection” We hope to feature a group of presenters as diverse as our attendees and community. An ideal presenter and/or panelist is someone knowledgeable in their chosen topic, able to actively engage adults in a workshop setting, is culturally responsive in presentation content and style, and has experience in the craft and/or business of writing. We would like to encourage proposals on 'Theme' as an aspect of writing.
Workshops are laid out in 60-minute blocks
Presenters are compensated $150 per workshop, $50 per panelist
Panels are limited to 4 people
Submission deadline is May 16, 2025.
Include an outline of your workshop, current CV and detailed proposal.
