Chicago Writers Conf

We produced five amazing writers conferences between 2012 and 2016. The name and website will live on.

Just a 👋 to say "hey, we're still alive, and we're not using this platform." Note to all writing/literary orgs: The Chicago Writers Conference is a trademark held by its owner; think twice before using some version of this name in your org or events. Cheers!
