Plan on attending!  

Visit the Gold Rush Writers website!  We will have the full details posted on the website by March 1. Registration forms will be available March 1, 2024.

Note: The original conference dates were May 3-5, but the hotel is undergoing some wonderful renovations, and that will take more time than originally anticipated. So, to be on the safe side, we moved the dates to September.
