About the Central Coast Writers Conference

We are excited to announce our Cuesta College Central Coast Writers’ Conference is expanding to two days this year! Join us at the college’s San Luis Obispo campus on Friday and Saturday, September 26 & 27, 2025 as we celebrate 41 years of bringing writers of all backgrounds and experience levels together. Named the “Best Conference in the West” by Writers Magazine, the CCWC organizers and volunteers work together to ensure attendees enjoy insightful dialogue, networking opportunities, and unrivaled access to our esteemed staff of presenters.

After serving as a volunteer with the Cuesta College Central Coast Writers’ Conference for over a decade, including her role as the Volunteer Coordinator, Meagan Friberg is thrilled to be named as the 2025 CCWC Director. She is eager to bring talented authors, screenwriters, poets, publishers, agents, and others from the writing and business community together to share their knowledge with conference attendees. 

Meagan has a heart for helping others, values the commitment volunteers contribute to ensure CCWC runs smoothly, and looks forward to welcoming new and returning attendees and presenters to the conference. She holds degrees in Journalism and Mass Communication, and is a former newspaper reporter and magazine editor. Meagan created her freelance writing business as a means to enjoy travel and spend more time with family, and her articles have been published in numerous magazines, newspapers, and online sites.
