This May, OWFI will be Conjuring the Mysteries of Writing together.

Jim Butcher, our 2025 Keynote speaker and Masterclass presenter is the best-selling author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, and a new steampunk series, the Cinder Spires. Jim, and a varied lineup of amazing writers and industry professionals, will help attendees unravel secrets to success for both experienced and emerging writers. Join us as we collect clues across multiple genres to help us write, publish, and market our work.

Soon you’ll see links to meet the faculty, book your hotel room, explore vendor and bookroom opportunities, sign up for pitches with editors and agents, and so much more.

Stay With Us!

For the most immersive conference experience, consider booking your stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Oklahoma City Will Rogers Airport. Rooming at the venue allows more time for networking and enjoying any impromptu post-session activities. Our host inevitably sells out each year, so authors who wait to reserve a room are often left hunting for alternate accommodations nearby. Don’t wait to take advantage of our discounted room pricing. Reservations will open soon.
