April 16, 2015 at 5:08 amMay I have the phone number of someone at the Phila. Writers Conference that I can call for information. I’m wondering, if I start filling out the form to attend the conference how long I have before the whole thing disappears and I will need to start over. I couldn’t find a name or phone number of someone to ask questions such as these.
Thanks.

June 10, 2015 at 8:13 pmHi Melanie, Sara will in fact be having a book signing from 11 – 1 on Friday that’s open to all her fans. But if you’re coming all the way down already, why not register for the conference so you can hear her opening remarks and take her class on adapting novels for TV? Head on over to our registration site by clicking HERE!

May 29, 2016 at 8:18 amHi Maureen, unfortunately there is no ‘Friday only” registration. The conference is structured so that the 3 day workshops build upon the previous day’s lesson, and while we have single day workshops and master classes as well, we don’t have ad hoc registration in which you’d only take those classes. Sorry you’re going to be out of town for 2016, but really hope to see you next year!
