Novelists and aspiring writers will learn how to perfect their craft by some of the country’s most revered authors at the Writer’s Digest Novel Writing Conference at the Westin Pasadena Friday through Sunday.

Some of the most respected and knowledgeable writers of our time including New York Times bestselling authors Robert Crais, Curtis Sittenfeld and Nicola Yoon, who will be giving keynote addresses.

There will also be agents and editors to guide writers through the process of writing, editing and publishing their work. During the conference, writers will learn to hone their writing process, refine characters, explore the future of publishing and receive access to advance their career as a successful novelist.

Crais is the author of twenty-one novels. He has won a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America as well as the Anthony, Barry, Shamus, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Ross Macdonald awards. One of his standalone novels, Hostage, was named a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times and was made into a film starring Bruce Willis.

Sittenfeld attracted nationwide attention with her New York Times bestselling debut, Prep, an insightful and achingly funny coming-of-age story the Boston Globe called “as addictive as M&Ms, but also a tart and complex tale of social class, race, and gender politics.” It was named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year (2005) by The New York Times.

Yoon is the bestselling author of Everything, Everything which is now a major motion picture, and The Sun Is Also a Star, a National Book Award finalist, Michael L. Printz Honor Book and Coretta Scott King New Talent Award winner.

On Thursday, suspense writers can join renowned author Jane H. Cleland for her workshop Mastering Suspense, Structure and Plot. The Thursday session as a standalone ticket for $199 or can be added to the conference registration for $149.
