• Do you write science fiction, fantasy, or horror?
• Would you like some professional feedback in a one-on-one setting?
• Have you always been interested in attending a writing workshop, but they've always been too far away or too expensive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you're ready to attend the ConQuesT Writer's Workshop!

Workshop participants receive a one-on-one intensive one hour session with a professional author, editor, or publisher who will offer suggestions to help YOU make YOUR work the best it can be.
