The 19th Annual Rochester Writers’ Conference will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan.
This year’s morning keynote at the 19th Annual Rochester Writers’ Conference is Sara Maurer — debut novelist, Michigan native, and the author of A Good Animal (St. Martin’s Press), a Book of the Month Club selection.
Sara’s path to publication is one that began right here in Michigan — and it’s the kind of story that reminds you why showing up matters.
She’ll open our day at Oakland University on October 17. You won’t want to miss it.
