Planning to attend Christian writers conferences 2026?

I’ve curated the most complete 2026 Christian writing conferences list available, featuring every major event for faith-based authors.

Whether you seek craft training, agent pitches, spiritual renewal, or publishing connections, these conferences are powerful opportunities to develop your writing and meet like-minded Christians in a supportive environment.

Our Christian writers conference list covers in-person and virtual gatherings across the U.S. from February through October. I’ve included dates, locations, and direct links so you can register early!

Remember, one-on-one meetings with authors and publishers that are available at some conferences tend to fill up early, so don’t delay if you’re seeking personalized feedback or to pitch your manuscript directly.

I’ve personally benefited from attending writing conferences over the years, and I have found Christian writing conferences to be some of the most welcoming and encouraging events I’ve gone to. If you’re on the fence, find one within driving distance — it’s worth it!

Why attend a 2026 Christian writing conference?

Christian writing conferences offer biblical encouragement, expert feedback, and the opportunity to meet professionals who work in various roles in the publishing industry.

You don’t have to be a published writer to attend a writing conference! In fact, many Christian authors get their start at conferences.

They learn, network, and are inspired to keep pursuing their calling to inspire, encourage, or teach through their words.

Christian writing conferences are designed for all levels, including beginning writers who are seeking to learn about the industry and get a sense of how to use their talents and skills to meet the needs of Christian readers.

Whether you’re writing devotionals, fiction, nonfiction, or screenplays, you’ll meet authors and writers who feel called to share their knowledge and industry expertise.
