Penned Con, Bringing Authors and Readers
Together for Charity
Brad R.
Cook
In the
writing world there are many different types of conferences. Starting with the
giant mega-writer’s conferences and going all the way down to a single day
workshop. Penned Con set out to do something a little different. This is the
third year for this unique book event. Set in St. Louis, Missouri, Penned Con
looks to bring authors and readers together in a two-day book event packed with
authors.
Best of
all the entire event centers around raising money for charities.
The main
event is a two-day book fair, where authors from around the country will
descend on the St. Louis City Center
Hotel and Suites at 400 S. 14th St. St. Louis, MO 63103. A
beautiful hotel sitting right beside Busch Stadium. Over 150 authors will be
selling their books, one of the largest gathering of authors selling books that
you will find in St. Louis and the greater region.

Penned
Con also offers writing workshops, panels, and keynotes speakers throughout the
two-day event, and the whole event culminates in an exciting tradition, the
Penned Con Luau. A charity dinner held as the last event of the weekend.
Penned
Con raises money for Action for Autism a St. Louis based charity. For more

the full package with full attendance for the weekend, access to all the
workshops, panels, keynote speakers, a t-shirt, lunch and the luau dinner. A
