Dear Writer 


We at the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses  are pleased to let you 
know about a new conference for literary writers focused on  forging lasting 
relationships with editors, agents, and publishers: The  Literary Writers 
Conference in New York City (LWC}NYC). This three-day  conference,taking place 
November 2–4 at The New School, provides writers of  fiction and poetry with the 
skills necessary to maneuver the complex  publishing marketplace.  


LWC}NYC takes advantage of the book publishing industry’s New  York 
centrality to: 


} bring top professionals in  the literary publishing field together with 
authors of contemporary  literature; 
}  foster a  professionally-knowledgeable community of contemporary  writers; 
 
}  improve communication  between authors and publishers;  
} inspire mutually  beneficial innovations in ways publishers and authors 
work together to create,  publish, and promote this country’s contemporary 
literature. 


For more information, a schedule of events, and to  register, visit 
_www.lwcnyc.org_ (http://www.lwcnyc.org/) . 


Practical-minded and aimed at engaging writers beyond  “How to Get an Agent,”
 LWC}NYC features programs such as “A Writer’s Publishing  Team,” “
Grassroots Marketing,” and “101: Inspiration vs. Perspiration.”  Presenters include a 
“who’s who” of the publishing community, including  editors Sonny Mehta of 
Knopf, Johnathan Burnham of HarperCollins, Karen  Braziller of Persea Books, 
Jill Bialosky of W. W. Norton, Jonathan Galassi of  FSG, Fiona McCrae of 
Graywolf Press, and Sara Nelson of Publishers Weekly, as  well as agents Ira 
Silverberg, Irene Skolnick, Nat Sobel, William Clark, and  Judith Weber—plus writers 
such as Jonathan Lethem, Lynne Tillman, and Cole  Swenson, and publishing 
professionals from The Academy of American Poets,  Poets & Writers, The Moth, and 
Beatrice. 


The cost for the three-day conference is $350—a  fraction of the cost for 
many writers conferences, which rarely provide more  than a few hints on how to 
be a professional writer.
