PPW Proposal Portal

Welcome to the Pikes Peak Writers Proposal Portal!

We're always looking for new speakers for Pikes Peak Writers Conference and our non-conference events, such as Write Brains and half-day programming. We want your writing related workshops and panels on topics like business, craft, genre, the writing life, marketing, and whatever else you think writers might find valuable.

For PPWC, presenters MUST offer a minimum of three workshops to be considered and we are always open to more ideas than that.

Please note as a non-profit, we are constrained in the compensations we can offer for your participation.

We look forward to seeing your proposals!

To get started, fill in the form. At the end, you can enter subsequent proposals by clicking on Add Another Proposal or scroll down and click Submit to finish. Please fill in contact info in the first submission, then type N/A or see first for duplicate information in subsequent submissions.

Receipt of entries for the next year's conference end on September 30th. Any entries after that date will be considered for the following year. Entries not selected will be notified and archived. New proposals MUST be entered each year.
