    2009 OWFI Writers Conference: Word By Word

    OWFI announces its forty-first annual conference to be held April 30- May 2, 2009 at the Norman Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center, Norman, Oklahoma. The conference features approximately 25 authors, editors, and agents offering 40 informative programs to help writers learn to write better and get published. Participants can meet new contacts, network, and make lasting friendships. It’s an excellent opportunity to learn from writing and publishing professionals. This is one of the finest and least expensive writers' conferences in the country, so do plan to attend! Register early for the best price.

    2009 Writing Contest

    The annual OWFI writing contest features competitions for cash prizes in 29 unpublished manuscript categories and awards four trophies for the best books published during the previous calendar year (in this case, 2008). A $20 entry fee entitles participants to enter as many categories as they want, but they may enter no single category more than once. Since the contest's purpose is to encourage writers to produce professionally acceptable manuscripts, the contest rules are very explicit, and contestants must follow them closely. To read the instructions and access contest forms, select the Contest link.
