After many successful previous events in California, Writing Day Workshops is excited to announce The 2026 Online California Writing Workshop — a two-day online “How to Get Published” writing event, June 12-13, 2026. (Writers are welcome to attend virtually from everywhere and anywhere.)

This writing event is a wonderful opportunity to get intense instruction over the course of two days, pitch a literary agent or editor (optional), get your questions answered, and more. Note that there are limited online “seats” at the event (200 total). All questions about the event regarding schedule, details and registration are answered on this site. Thank you for your interest in the 2026 online California Writing Workshop! We are very proud of our many success stories where attendees sign with agents following events — see our growing list of success stories here.

(ONLINE: Writing Day Workshops plans both in-person and virtual/online conferences. The 2026 CWW is an Online Conference, on June 12-13. Online events are easy and awesome, and the virtual events we’ve done thus far have received wonderful feedback. You do not have to be tech-savvy to do this, and understand we are keeping all aspects of a traditional in-person event, including one-on-one agent & editor pitching, which will now be done by Zoom or phone. Learn all details about what it means to have a writers conference online.)
