Guidelines for Presenters
We invite you to play an active role in our 2026 Kansas Authors Club convention by submitting your proposals for speakers and workshops.
We are looking for 50-minute, participatory workshops on writing and/or discussion leaders on topics of interest to writers.
We are also looking for potential panelists for moderator-led discussions.
Presentations that explore the convention theme, "Writing Our History & Creating Our Future: Building Community Right," are particularly welcome.
A Kansas connection is appreciated but not required for consideration. Speakers will be paid, but there is a limited budget for travel expenses and housing.
The convention is being planned for in-person presentations. We are looking for an array of workshops that will address beginning writers through those with experience in writing and publishing. We will also plan for a balance of workshops covering fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
