2022 Inkubator Writing Conference

The Inkubator Writing Conference is Literary Cleveland's free annual festival for writers and readers.

From September 6-8 we will host virtual panel discussions with national authors all leading up to the big two-day in-person conference at the Cleveland Public Library on September 9-10. The conference will feature writing workshops, panel discussions, craft talks, teen writing programs, a book fair, a party, and a keynote address. See the full schedule at inkubator.litcleveland.org.

Register for individual events (including the virtual panels) or the whole conference—all for free—using this form.

Altogether, the Inkubator is a public celebration of writing in Cleveland that advances writers’ individual abilities, furthers artistic dialogue, fosters a more connected literary community, and invites more people to tell their stories.

Literary Cleveland's Inkubator Writing Conference is just the beginning of Cleveland Book Week. Be sure to check out the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards ceremony and events September 11-16 as well as the Great Lakes African American Writers Conference (GLAAWC) September 16-18.
