StoryWorldCon is an international conference for writers made up of two parts: the campsite and the courses.

The courses are paid workshops led by professional freelance editor Lara Willard. Each workshop offers tiers of content so you can customize your course to fit your budget.

The campsite (see below) is a free forum for writers to meet and mingle. All you need is an email address to sign up.
