Featured Speakers

Jeff Goins. WSJ Bestselling Author of Real Artists Don't Starve and The Art of Work, Jeff is a speaker and ghostwriter with 20 years of professional writing experience.

Peggy Finck. Peggy is an author and query coach who helps writers distill their grand visions for their books into three tight paragraphs to catch the attention of agents and publishers. Her clients have a high success rate of landing publishing deals, and she will be talking about the art of copywriting for writers.

Joe Bunting. WSJ Bestselling Writer, Founder of The Write Practice, and dad to three hooligans, Joe is the host of The Practice.

You. Deliberate practice isn't about consuming but creating. Bring your wisdom, your tactics, your voice, and your heart to share with our community. We can't wait to learn from you.

More speakers coming soon.

Lodging Options

Where should you stay in Atlanta? A few ideas:

• Hampton Inn Midtown. We have a block of rooms allotted for conference attendees at The Hampton Inn in Midtown.
• Atlanta Airbnbs. Atlanta Airbnbs has a collection of 10 properties located in and around Atlanta that are all managed by Talia Bunting, Joe's wife. These could be perfect for small groups (so feel free to reach out in The Write Practice's Community Cafe if you'd like to find people to share a house with). Hurry though, as these properties will book up.

The event is located in a great emerging neighborhood in Atlanta, but there aren't any good hotel options nearby. Our suggestion is to try to stay close to Midtown Atlanta or Decatur for relatively easy access to the conference.
