Georgia Romance Writers Set to Host their Annual Moonlight & Magnolias Writing Conference in September

ATLANTA, September 25-27, 2025 – The Georgia Romance Writers (GRW), a nonprofit, professional writing organization based in Atlanta, GA, will host their annual Moonlight & Magnolias writing conference, on September 25th to 27th. The conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Norcross, with discounted registration rates available for current and new GRW members, and early bird rates until July 1st.

For over forty years the Moonlight & Magnolias Writing Conference has maintained a tradition of supporting and developing writers of all levels. Featured speakers for this year’s event include New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Susan Stoker, award-winning author Lindi Peterson, and award-winning author Laura Drake. Over 40+ craft, business, and marketing workshops will be offered, including a dedicated Emerging Authors track where writers will have a chance to learn from the ground up and spend some one-on-one time with a published author. Attendees can expect workshops for beginner, intermediate and advanced authors, as well as opportunities to meet and pitch to leading industry editors and agents in person as well as via Zoom. Registration for the conference also includes admittance to the Maggie Award Dinner on Saturday night.

The Moonlight & Magnolias conference will also provide a chance for authors and readers to connect at the Moonlight & Magnolias book fair and signing event. Attending authors can request to have a table at the book fair, an event that is free and open to the public. Tables are limited.
For over four decades, the Georgia Romance Writers have been teaching, mentoring, and growing writers in Georgia and the surrounding states through the Moonlight & Magnolias Conference. “This conference is a unique way to spend time with published and prepublished authors alike. We represent an incredible value with most meals, all workshops, agent/editor pitches, our Maggie banquet and social opportunities all included in your registration fee,” says Staci Hayes, conference co-chair. Tracy Solheim, GRW President adds, “The Moonlight and Magnolias Conference is the place to be for writers who want to hone their craft, to learn the latest nuances in polishing and marketing their books, and to rub shoulders with and glean the latest information from industry professionals. It’s also a fun, encouraging environment where so many writers find their tribe!”
