Interactive Webinar-Based Presentations
The Nonfiction Writers Conference (NFWC) is a multi-day event featuring live presentations by top speakers and industry experts, Q&A with speakers, and plenty of downloadable materials. You can attend the live webcast by computer, mobile device or phone.
Can’t make the live events? Recordings and transcripts are available depending on the registration level you choose.
Complimentary Ask-a-Pro Consultations
These popular one-on-one consultations are offered with publishing industry experts, including literary agents, book coaches, marketing experts, and more. Consultations are 15-minutes each and delivered by phone or Skype during the week of NFWC. Gold, Platinum, and VIP attendees can register for up to three consults with the pros you choose. (Sorry, Live Access attendees are not eligible.) Registration for Ask-a-Pro is announced three to four weeks prior to the conference. Register for NFWC early for first access since these sessions fill up fast. Many of our attendees feel these consultations are worth the price of admission alone!
Community Support with Peers and Publishing Pros
NFWC attendees are invited to join a private Facebook group so you can connect with fellow writers. Also, NFWC is hosted by the Nonfiction Authors Association, a supportive community for writers. NFAA has a wide variety of benefits including weekly media leads, fresh content each week, access to weekly event recordings, partner discounts with sponsors like Lulu.com, and much more.

Participate in Our LIVE Pitch-the-Agents Session
For the first time at NFWC in May 2021, we hosted a LIVE Pitch-the-Agents session. All attendees had the opportunity to apply to give a pitch. Twenty finalists were selected at random and were given five minutes each to share a pitch and get feedback from the agents.
Whether in the hot seat or watching from the virtual sidelines, this was a popular and valuable learning session for all.
The agents requested proposals from seven writers and so far one has signed with one of the agents.
We look forward to following along with their journeys.
Pitch-the-Agents will return for the 2022 Nonfiction Writers Conference.
Gold, Platinum and VIP attendees are eligible to participate and must submit an application. Final participants are chosen by random lottery. Participation and proposal requests do not guarantee a book deal, but may get you one step closer!
NFWC is packed with value to help you reach your goals.
- Content-rich presentations by publishing industry professionals focused on delivering value, NOT pitching their services. (This is NOT a pitch-fest “summit” style event. You’ll receive actionable tactics you can put to work right away.)
- Webinar-based sessions and live Q&A with most speakers.
- Popular Ask-a-Pro sessions, complimentary one-on-one consultations with publishing industry experts. Available for Gold, Platinum, and VIP attendees.
- LIVE Pitch-the-Agent session where Gold, Platinum, and VIP attendees can apply to give a pitch. Participants are chosen by random lottery.
- Private, attendees-only Facebook group, available to all attendees.
- Downloadable bonus material, available as soon as you register. Handouts from speakers, available during the event.
- Optional event replays (recordings) and typed transcripts, depending on the registration level you choose.
- Optional membership in the Nonfiction Authors Association, depending on the registration level you choose.
NFWC could be one of the best investments you make in your author career.

Plus, we offer a full money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose!

NFWC is NOT a “summit” or a pitch-fest.
This is a LIVE event with speakers who deliver content-rich presentations and conduct Q&A with attendees, just like an in-person conference experience.
How the Nonfiction Writers Conference began.
After speaking at many writers’ conferences and events over the years, Stephanie Chandler grew frustrated by the lack of attention paid to nonfiction writers. In 2010, she launched the first Nonfiction Writers Conference event, conducted entirely online. She had no idea if anyone would attend, but they did! And they loved the online format.
Since that first event, we’ve hosted over 200 talented speakers and thousands of attendees, and have evolved the conference format to video-based webinar, which brings a lively visual element that makes attendees feel like the speakers are talking to you directly.
We want to thank NFWC attendees for asking each year how to keep in touch when the conference was over. Your inquiries led to the introduction of the Nonfiction Authors Association in 2013. This vibrant community has grown to over 14,000 members around the world.
Our mission from the beginning was to take the traditional writers’ conference experience and deliver it online. This allows more people to attend from anywhere, saving time and money on travel expenses. We’ve also celebrated alongside many of our attendees and community members who’ve gone on to launch books into the world, conduct successful marketing campaigns, built lucrative revenue streams, become professional speakers, and much more.
Lessons learned from NFWC can change the trajectory of your author career!
Feedback from past conferences
“I just joined the Nonfiction Authors Association and attended my first conference. I received so much valuable information and I’m so excited to apply what I’ve learned. THANK YOU!”
“The presentations were packed full of practical, monetizable writing ideas and “maps.” My eyes were opened to new worlds of online writing publications and resources that I’m confident will increase my income. The Ask-a-Pro sessions were worth the cost of admission alone! I received high-level, actionable feedback and advice for my books, speaking engagements, online courses, and website. The Nonfiction Writers Conference has set my writing business on a new trajectory!”
“NFWC 2019 was AWESOME! The conference was full of great information for new and experienced author alike. Speakers were very well prepared and quite engaging. The webinar format was warm and seamless. Such great insight and motivation. I can’t wait for NFWC 2020!”
“I attended the annual NFWC and was my first introduction to them. I have to say, I was blown away!! The content was incredible class after class. I couldn’t believe all of the value I gained… I’ve paid far more for far less! I signed up to be a member immediately so I can stay plugged into this awesome community.”
“NFWC is the best investment I make each year in my nonfiction author career. The caliber and accessibility of the presenters is unusually high, the topics well chosen and diverse, and I can honestly say that at least half of the presentations would have been worth the cost of the whole conference alone.”
“Where else can you gain so much valuable information in so little time? I’ve attended Non-Fiction Writers Conference three years running and it has been well worth my time every year.”
“Wow! So much detailed, truly helpful information from a variety of sources. It’s hard to imagine [what an online conference will be like] before it is experienced.”
“Conference organizers created a practical, diverse, and excellent experience. Extremely helpful. Will be back every year!”
“I greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from attending my first Nonfiction Writers Conference. It was very convenient to have a webinar format (with recordings of sessions for those I missed joining live). I found many topics of interest in the presentations, and the speakers all provided very helpful information. I plan to attend again. Many thanks to the organizers!”
