Writer’s Digest Annual Conference 2025 Recap
Relive the fun of the Writer’s Digest 2025 Annual Conference will illustrations from Bob Eckstein.
Almost one month ago at the end of July, Writer's Digest traveled to just outside Baltimore, Maryland to the Maritime Conference Center for our Annual Conference. It was a conference unlike any of our others as we shared breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, and also shared space with maritimers from around the world learning their trade, many of whom stopped by our table to ask questions about writing and grab a copy of the magazine.
We were thrilled to have New Yorker cartoonist Bob Eckstein join us again to live draw as many of the sessions and speakers as he was able. If you were at the conference, enjoy reliving the experience with his drawings below. If you weren't able to make it, we hope these drawings entice you to join us next year!
