Become An SCWC Sponsor

Celebrating its 27th year, the SCWC is renowned as one of the premier independent conferences for creative writers in the United States, having facilitated nearly $4 million in first-time authors’ book and screen deals. With conferees attending from around the world, sponsors of the SCWC benefit directly from their support through a number of packages available, all of which are entirely customizable to best serve your goals.

It’s easy to support our annual conferences in San Diego and L.A. (Newport Beach):

1. Become a Package Sponsor

SCWC Publisher, Editor and Author Sponsorship Packages enable us to devote more resources to acquiring top-level publishers, editors and agents to lend their expertise to conferees. Package sponsorship generates maximum exposure for sponsors, extending from 1-year prime logo/hyperlink promotion placement on the popular SCWC website and SCWC community blog, along with inclusion in print advertising and additional promotional materials, to trade space and signage/banner presence at our events.

2. Sponsor an Individual Session or Keynote Speaker

With the sponsorship of a single workshop or keynote speaker, we’re able to secure an even greater mix of new and accomplished authors from around the U.S. to share their insight and experience.

3. Host an SCWC Networking Mixer

Drinking, eating and forging vital relationships with like-minded authors, agents and publishers — if that don’t make for a good and memorable time for writers, nothing will.

4. Sponsor a Student or Aspiring Author

While we strive to keep registration costs both affordable and competative to ensure that aspiring authors of low- or limited-income can take full advantage of conference opportunities, for some it simply is too difficult to afford the full weekend event. You can easily sponsor a conferee (of our choosing) and bolster the prospects of yet another SCWC publishing success.

5. Be an In-Kind Sponsor

From brochure printing to display advertising and goodie bag supplements to bottled water and other refreshments, there’s little that isn’t welcomed to make the SCWC the best and most positively memorable experience for conferees and staff. Please let us know what services or support you’d like to provide to help us further help writers.
