WHAT IS IT?

After many successful previous events in Chicago area, Writing Day Workshops is excited to announce The 2026 Writing Workshop of Chicago — a one-day in-person “How to Get Published” writing event, June 20, 2026.

This writing event is a wonderful opportunity to get intense instruction over the course of two days, pitch a literary agent or editor (optional), get your questions answered, and more. Note that there are limited seats at the event. All questions about the event regarding schedule, details and registration are answered on this site. Thank you for your interest in the 2026 Writing Workshop of Chicago! We are very proud of our many success stories where attendees sign with agents following events — see our growing list of success stories here.

(Please note that this is an in-person event. We at Writing Day Workshops plan both online/virtual as well as in-person events. This next WWOC is an in-person event happening in Chicago on June 20, 2026. See you there.)
