Thank you for your interest in the 1st Annual Connecting Writers with Hollywood film and literary conference. We look forward to meeting you! Between you, the presenters, sponsors and wonderful volunteers, this is really happening, and sure to be a success! 

The most commonly asked question we get is: Do I need to be a published author in order to attend?

The answer is absolutely not. A writer at any stage of their career is encouraged to attend. While some producers are seeking material which can be adapted, others are seeking straight up story, published or not. Screenwriters, this applies to you as well.

And if you’re a beginner, the educational aspects and connections from the conference automatically provides you with a great advantage.

Hollywood is finally coming to Spokane!
For over a century...
...the film industry has used fiction as a foundation for movies. It is time to seize the moment, be encouraged and take advantage of sitting one on one, with a film agent, director or producer.
The education and wisdom our presenters are ready to impart, will be worth your financial  investment and your valuable time.
