Fall Harvest Volunteers

It’s harvest time in the community garden! Our one-day online conference is designed to help you cultivate deeper industry roots, sow seeds for future connections, and gather the tools you need to grow your creative career as an author, illustrator, or both! Join us on Sunday, September 21, 2025 for two workshops led by agent Mary Cummings, one industry panel of agents and editors to equip you with the skills to nurture and harvest meaningful relationships, and time to grow in our Garden Box Breakout sessions. Plus, opportunities to dig deeper with optional 1:1 critique sessions or 1:1 Ask-Me-Anything sessions. Whether you’re planting your first manuscript or tending a well-established story, Fall Harvest is a place to learn, share, and gather together in creative community. Let’s grow something beautiful—together.
