PIKES PEAK WRITERS CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIPS
You're invited to be a sponsor for the 2024 Pikes Peak Writers Conference held this year from Friday, April 26 through Sunday, April 28 at the Doubletree Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO. We are celebrating our 31st year and expect up to 400 attendees, 80% of which are from Colorado. We'll connect you with them via a variety of packages, which begin at $200 and include branded engagement with more than 4,700 of our Facebook fans.
The Pikes Peak Writers Conference was founded in 1993 by author Jimmie Butler. The inaugural conference centered on "Useful Tips for Writing Commercial Fiction" and enjoyed sponsorship by the Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District and The Kennedy Center Imagination Celebration. Today, the 3-day fiction writing conference is for writers of all levels, featuring workshops, acquiring editors/agents, and well-known authors across a variety of genres.
If you see a package you like, but want to add to it, just let me know. I am open to ideas and want to create the most benefit for your business, our attendees, and the Colorado writers community.
Check out our list of packages below, then select the one that best suits your needs. You can upload your logo and pay with a credit card. Once I receive your information, I'll reach out to see how I can be of further service. Deadline to register is March 31, 2024.
