Free Writing Consultation with a San Francisco Writers Conference Independent Editor


At this year's conference we are proud to offer the re-named SFWC Independent Editor consultations*. We will be offering one-on-one, five-minute consultations in the Garden Room adjacent to Café Ferlinghetti on the lobby floor. These sessions are free on a first-come, first-served basis. One session per person, please, until everyone has had a consultation.

The hours will be:
Friday:    10 a.m.–11:45 a.m. and 2 p.m.–4:30 p.m.
Saturday:  9 a.m.–11:45 a.m. and 2 p.m.–4:30 p.m.

Go directly to the Garden Room to sign up for a slot.

This is the list of the Independent Editors. Bios of the Independent Editors are listed in the Presenters section of the printed program.
