Speaker Programs & Author Events
Speakers are the highlight of our monthly meetings.
We showcase industry leaders: authors, editors, publishers, and teachers who may inform writers about topics related to the art and craft of writing, the publishing industry, and the business of writing.
Author Events Help Members Launch Their Published Work
We recognize newly published CWC members with author events at our speaker programs. See the Marketing Education Group co-chairs for details.
