The Magic of Writing is the 2026 annual conference presented by the Oklahoma Writers’ Federation, Inc., bringing together writers of every stage for craft-focused workshops, industry panels, and meaningful professional connection.

As Conference Coordinator, Shannon Iwanski crafts a weekend designed to support both the work of writing and the people who do it—creating space for learning, momentum, and creative renewal. From emerging voices to seasoned authors, the conference offers practical insight, thoughtful conversation, and a shared commitment to storytelling.
