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!”
