Now headed into its 28th successful year, the Bay to Ocean Writers
Conference (BTO) will offer participants the chance to explore the
opportunities, challenges, and trends specific to writers through
keynote presentations, panel discussions, craft talks, a book store, and
workshops led by contemporary authors. The conference will provide
writers a space on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland to gather for
inspiration, further education, support, and networking. | For the 2025 conference, we are seeking innovative, fun, and engaging presentations that include hands-on writing activities in the areas of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, creative non fiction, children & YA literature, as well as publication, editing, promotion, & social media. Sessions will run approximately 60 minutes in length and average 10-20 participants per session. |

Bay to Ocean Writers Conference provides a modest honorarium of
$125/presentation, and $100/panel. Selected speakers will also be
permitted to sell their books onsite through our bookstore.
Travel expenses and hotel costs are NOT provided by BTO. A
block of rooms will be available at local hotels for a discounted rate
