10 Benefits Awaiting Writers’ Conference First-Timers

You think you might like to write? You’re consumed with a burning idea but no clue how to take it from writing to publication? Maybe you’re sure you don’t write well enough yet.

Don’t let that stop you! Go ahead and attend a Christian writers’ conference. The benefits are astronomical. Here are just a few.

You will:

1. Jumpstart your writing dream (You know you have one, right?)
2. Be inspired by fantastic motivational speakers
3. Learn from professionals how to write and get published
4. Meet editors, publishers, and agents face-to-face. Find out what they’re looking for and discover that these brothers and sisters in Christ really want you to succeed.

6. Make enthusiastic new friends who will validate your passion to write
7. Begin to discover your niche as a writer and God’s plan for your coming year of writing.
