Hollywood Screenwriters and New York Times Best Sellers to Introduce New

Master Classes at the 34th Annual Central Coast Writers Conference

Introducing the new activities and workshops for the CCWC 2018 lineup.

San Luis Obispo, CA, August 09, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Whether you are a writer in search of a publisher or
have a great idea for a movie, the 34th annual Central Coast Writers Conference (CCWC) is designed to
help you get closer to your dream. Located directly in the heart of California's beloved coastal region,
Cuesta College will host the CCWC September 27th to 29th, 2018. It is open to all, from beginning
writers to teachers and even teens.

For the last three years, CCWC director, Teri Bayus, has added a steady stream of Hollywood
screenwriters to the mix of more than 30 widely acclaimed, best-selling authors, editors, agents, poets and
publishers on faculty. 2018's three-day conference will feature three keynote presentations and 80
workshops across seven tracks, to cover all aspects of the writing process.

“I am more thrilled than ever with the quality of workshops, staff, agents and publishers who are
attending this year,” stated Bayus. “We have proven that an investment in the CCWC has fashioned
books published and launched successful writing careers. I know our new Master Classes, with their
intimate access to the industry's best, will leave an indelible mark on the students.”

Newly added Master Classes (MC) will be taught by renowned authors such as Peter Dunne, recipient of
33 Emmys(R), and Jonathan Maberry, Netflix star and award-winning horror author. These six-hour
writing intensive workshops will cover everything from self-publishing to writing a hook for Hollywood
directors. MCs allow 20 people per class and are $150 each. They may be added on to conference
registration or taken independently.

Opening the conference Thursday night is yet another new event: the Wine, Women, Words and Wisdom
(WWWW) panel, emceed by Jeanette Trumpeter. This panel is included with registration or available as a
stand-alone event for $30, and includes appetizers and wine.

“Thepurpose of the panel is to have an open-ended discussion about the challenges and rewards of being
a woman writer. WWWW gets behind the curtain and discusses the blood, sweat, tears and victories that
got these women to where they are. We all learn by identification, and I think many people are going to
identify with their stories,” said Trumpeter.

Other special engagements include the Friday Night Networking and Storytelling event held at the Inn at
Morro Bay. At the event, attendees will share a three-to-five-minute story for the audience about an event
that truly impacted them, positively or otherwise. Tickets are $50 and include appetizers, beer and wine.
