The Kachemak Bay Writers’ Conference has been the place where writers from Alaska and beyond come together to create community and learn how to be better writers.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the 2025 conference on May 17-20 at the beautiful Kachemak Bay Campus in downtown Homer, Alaska.

There will there be four-days of craft classes, agent and editor meetings, panel discussions, readings by the participants and the faculty, and more chances for folks to interact with each other and form the community of writers that sustains us when we return to our desks.

We hope that participants of the conference leave with stronger writing tools and a strengthened resolve to keep putting their words to the page. Now, more than ever, every writer’s stories, poems, essays, novels, and more need to be nourished.

Please watch this space for announcements about upcoming faculty!

As always, updates will be posted on Facebook and on the Kachemak Bay Writers’ Conference website.
