  • April 15, 2026

Look what’s happening at the 2026 Washington Writers Conference!

Panel in the Spotlight: “What Booksellers Know.”

Great, you’ve written a book! But who makes the decisions about its placement (or even its presence) on the shelves? Booksellers! In this panel, moderated by Patricia Coral (Women Surrounded by Water), you’ll hear from Amy Joyce (Wonderland Books), Megan Bormet (People’s Book), and Susan Coll (Politics and Prose) about how titles are displayed and presented to the reading public.

Don’t miss your chance to meet these and other pros during the 2026 Washington Writers Conference on May 1-2 in Rockville, MD. REGISTER NOW!
