The 2023 603 Writers’ Conference

Oour in-person 603 Writers’ Conference is scheduled for June 3, 2023 on the SNHU campus.  As announced at our annual meeting, this year’s keynote speaker is Mark Dagostino. From Hollywood to Nashville, from wrestling rings to the center of the national political arena, co-author Mark Dagostino has proven himself to be one of the most excitingly diverse and compelling writers in nonfiction today.

Dedicated to writing books that inspire and uplift, Mark is widely recognized for his runaway #1 NY Times Bestseller, The Magnolia Story with Chip and Joanna Gaines, a book that sold more than a million copies in its first 3 months. Mark has been the collaborative voice behind six other NY Times Bestsellers:

  • God Bless This Mess with Hannah Brown
  • Live in Love with Lauren Akins
  • Capital Gains by Chip Gaines
  • Attitude with NCAA Champion Villanova Basketball Coach Jay Wright
  • Elle & Coach with Stefany Shaneen (currently in development for feature film)
  • And Mark’s first book, Hulk Hogan’s My Life Outside the Ring

In total: 23 published books, 7 NY Times bestsellers, 2M books sold…so far. Mark earned his degree in English-Journalism from UNH in his home state, where he now lives and works with his family.

In addition to Mark, we will have multiple morning and afternoon workshops, a panel discussion, and our pitch party (so start getting your ideas together now). Over the course of the next couple of months, we will provide more details on workshops and information on how you can sign up for this event.
