Donated – thanks for putting together a fantastic conference!
This conference is worth a million times what I donated. Thank you for making an outstanding conference available to all.
I donated. Love WriteOnCon!
I love Writeoncon throughout the year. This conference has an amazing wealth of information, advice, and things to keep at the forefront of my mind as an author. I live in a pretty remote area and conferences are very few and far between. My donation doesn’t even begin to show my appreciation.
Done! Write On Con has already been absolutely amazing for me, and it hasn’t even finished yet! Thank you for everything
I wish I could donate more. Thanks for putting this together!
I donated. Thanks for taking the time to organize this AWESOME conference!
Thank you so much for organizing this! I haven’t had much chance to participate due to work, but I hope I could catch up
This is amazing! Thanks so much for a wonderful conference!!
VERY pleased to support WriteonCon! Thanks!
This conference has been very informative and helpful. Can we donate even after the conference? I donated already but I would love to donate more (after my next payday) to this wonderful cause.
I would also like to give a HUGE thank you to the many ppl behind the scenes working on making this conference such a huge success. The generosity of the publishing community just shows how we all just want the same thing and we are all willing to help each other get it.
Thanks again.
Sent my donation in yesterday. It was the least I could do considering going to a conference would cost me a couple hundred. I wouldn’t be where I am today as a writer if it weren’t for WriteOnCon. Thank you!
I donated! I only wish I could do more – WOC provides such an amazing place to learn and grow as a writer – you guys are amazing!
Thanks for putting together such a great program!
This CON is absolutely wonderful!! So glad I heard about it.
Just found out about this site last night (at a regional SCBWI conference) so missed the first days but at least I got here for the final one. I wish I could have donated more.
This is just a fantabulous conference. All the hard work and dedication put into this is beyond evident. You all totally ROCK!!! I made my donation. Here’s to other fabulous conferences for many years to come.
This conference has been fantastic. Happy to donate to the cause. Thanks to everyone who worked together or gave their time to make this happen.
Donated. Thanks for having so much great information!
This is such a wonderful conference! I’ve loved the live events especially. Thanks for putting this together. My donation is just a small thank you. I’m already excited for next year!
I donated! This has been amazing.
Donated. What a fabulous conference. I have learned so much–thank you to all!!! I appreciate all the hard that went into putting this on.
Donated! Great conference!
I love the fact that we can go back and catch up with things we missed, or just re-read the words that speak to us. I just caught up with Matt Myklusch’s event and was totally blown away.
Thank you!
I donated today. I attended last year’s WriteOnCon too (which was AMAZING) and have been blown away by this year’s Con. Keep bringing the AWESOME!
You guys are the best! Thanks for all your hard work, and your humor, getting WriteOnCon u and running and being so thoroughly awesome.
When I’m published and swimming in a pool of Benjamins (hey, I write fantasy,) I’ll definitely pay it forward and WriteonCon will be a big beneficiary.
Thnaks again and muchos besos to you all.
Donated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
One of the best conferences ever! I’ve been blown away by all the information and the excellent live chats (my favorite!) Thanks SO much for doing this conference, WOC ladies!
Just added to the ante—thanks everyone, great conference!
coming in way late here but happy to contribute to a worthy endeavor. this conference is great!!
Of course I wanted to make a donation! There was so much that I saw that I liked, but way more that I am grateful for. Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts! I wish I only could have donated more. But no worries. I have marked it on my calendar to watch for next year so I will be back! And who knows, maybe next year I can come back as a contributor with a debut novel?? Well, at least it’s on my wish list
Thanks again. The entire conference is and has been tremendous!
This conference is worth so much…I just can’t believe it’s free! I’m happy to have donated!
It’s hard to put on a price on what this conference is worth. Its been AMAZING!
I am delighted to help support WriteOnCon! I used last year’s conference year-round, and I expect to do the same with the wealth of information you guys have pulled together this year. Thank you so, so much for your hard work!
I donated but it doesn’t seem like enough for how awesome this conference has been. Thanks to everyone who made this happen.
If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
I’d buy you a server
(a really swanky server)
If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
I’d buy you techies for your website
(Maybe they’d be hot and shirtless)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you chocolate
(The really expensive kind)
If I had a million dollars, I’d be rich
I just wish I was rich so I could donate more, but hopefully this will go a little ways to keeping WriteOnCon running. Thanks for everything y’all do!
You all do good work…happy to help keep it up! THANKS!

This conference is so wonderful. I’m learning so much and I’m so excited to get back to my stories and apply what I’ve learned. I made a donation.
Donated. While this conference does not cater to my genre specifically, I’ve learned so much and want to support this in whatever way I can.
You guys and gals who put this conference on TOTALLY ROCK!!! Thank you!!!
Loving this conference. I’ve been glued to the computer and formed an even greater addiction to twitter to make sure I am not missing anything. Thanks so much for everything! Smiles, Kelly
Thanks for such a wealth of information at this conference. Kudos to everyone involved.

Man, Just learned of this the last day. Thank GOD I at least learned about it now (thanks twitter!). Donated!
Thank you for all your hard work on WriteOnCon. This has been another amazing year. I hope you get enough donations to help pay for all the expenses.
I hope you leave a donation link up throughout the year. I’d love to come back and donate more whenever I can.
Happily donated, this is a great resource.
I just learned of this conference last night. Had to work today, but I’ve gone over some of the forum notes and they are very helpful. So I made a donation. Maybe next year I’ll be ready.
You guys did a wonderful job. Thanks so much. Hope to give more the next time.
