Necessity is the mother of invention. COVID-19 forced closure after closure of public events this year, including a slate of great writers conferences across Colorado. Writers still want new tools for their toolboxes and want insight on the current publishing world. What to do?

Writers organizations to the rescue! In a great confluence of inspiration, cooperation, and serendipity, Northern Colorado Writers in Ft. Collins, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers in Denver, and Pikes Peak Writers got together and to find a solution. That’s how Colorado Writers Collaborative 2020 was born.

Running on YouTube September 1-30, CWC offers video workshops created by outstanding authors, agents, and editors on topics ranging from world building to building your media footprint. There are big name, NYT Bestselling authors like John Gilstrap, Bob Mayer, and Rachel Howzell Hall presenting as well as local favorites like Debbie Maxwell Allen, Carol Berg, and Johnny Worthen.

Colorado Writers Collaborative is completely FREE. You have the whole month of September to watch and rewatch over 30 educational, motivational videos.

This entire project was made possible by folks volunteering their time and effort to give YOU something good this year. Check out Colorado Writers Collaborative 2020 to get a good, conference-esque shot in the arm.
