AuthorPalooza is a three day conference event sponsored by the Houston Writers Guild.

On Friday evening, we kick off the conference weekend with a celebration of the winning authors of our annual contest. This year we collaborated with WiVLA and are proud to release the anthology Journey into Art with the contest entries who won and/or received honorable mention. You can learn more about our contest on our website Contest page.

On Saturday, we start the main day of sessions with opening remarks at 9am followed by our key note speaker — Kevin J Anderson. There are two break out sessions with multiple presentations as well as key workshop presentations by publicist Mickey Mikkelson, award-winner Kevin J Anderson, and entrepeneur Fern Brady. Check out the agenda for the day to see which sessions you would like to attend.

This year, we are catering lunch on Saturday which is included when you purchase your ticket as is your parking for the event weekend.

On Sunday, we close our conference weekend with a workshop by the amazing Kevin J Anderson.
