Annual Florida Writers Conference 2026
FWA News and Updates.
Advice for visitors: Take a moment to learn about our group and how you can join or help. If you are new, say hello and ask questions. We welcome everyone who loves to write, from beginners to people who write books. The Florida Writers Association is a group that helps writers by sharing knowledge, giving chances to grow, and building connections. We began in 2001 and are a not-for-profit group with the goal to support writers. Our motto is 'Writers Helping Writers' and it shows in the work our volunteers do every day. Volunteers run events, give feedback, judge contests, and help other writers feel welcome. You can join events, enter contests, or volunteer to learn and meet new friends.
Our mission is simple. We want to give writers knowledge, chances, and connections to reach their goals. Our vision is to be a top resource for writers at every step of their journey. We believe in community, recognition, education, inclusion, professionalism, and respect. These values guide our work. In 2025 the organization took a big step by hiring its first Executive Director, Ginnye Cubel. For nearly 25 years the group was run only by volunteers, and this new staff leader will help guide projects, build new partnerships, and help members more. This change shows that the organization is growing and thinking about the future. It will help make membership services stronger and build a deeper sense of community among writers.
We also celebrate writers with awards. The 2025 Royal Palm Literary Awards winners were honored at Florida WritersCon 2025 during a banquet. These awards recognize strong writing across many kinds of stories and books. If you write, you can enter contests to gain recognition and feedback. If you are learning to write, join workshops, read about craft, and get feedback from others. The group welcomes diverse voices from across the state, the nation, and the world. Whether you want to write for fun, for school, or as a career, there are places to learn and people to help. Look for local meetings, online events, and chances to volunteer. Getting involved is a good way to grow your skills and meet people who love writing like you do.
