Romance
In early 2018 a woman saw a need for an all-genre, one-day, writers conference in Elk Grove that wouldn't cost $2000 - $3000 to attend plus airfare and lodging. How hard could it be? She found three like-minded writers, and they went to work. The first Elk Grove Writers Conference of October, 2018 was a surprising success. Encouraged by that success, they filed the required State and Federal documents and by early 2020, they were a legal nonprofit doing business as the Elk Grove Writers Guild, Inc. Their mission statement says they will, "Help Writers Be the Best They Can Be Through Education and Networking."
To carry out their Mission Statement, they provide full-day biennial conferences, and shorter events called seminars. The event planning includes searching for new, popular speakers with fresh material. They frequently ask their members for suggestions and feedback on topics for speaker presentations.
