Your session line-up features presentations on writing, storytelling, defining your target audience, publishing optins, and more.

Taught by industry experts, each session is designed to help you craft your writing and finish your book.

GENERAL SESSIONS

WHAT and WHY

 

Every person (writer or not) is a reflection of God. The weekend journey begins with a rich exploration of who God is, your relationship with him, and the words you use in conversation with your audience of One.

WHO

We have an incredible (if not supernatural) capacity to influence others. Whom are you willing to sacrifice for? Why do you want to serve them? How can your writing, book, and, most importantly, your story inspire, guide, mobilize or otherwise aid them?

HOW

Good writing is a joy to read and reread; lousy writing is (fill in your favorite word that makes your grandmother angry). The craft of writing a book is both an art and a science. Together we will scrutinize what makes a great book that inspires people.

WONDER

Storytelling is as old as the Bible itself, and every good story needs a storyteller. What story are you living? What story are you telling? How will you use your words and your book to tell a story to your reader? 

WHEN

Writers write. Editors edit. Designers design. Publishers publish. Printers print. Really, it is that simple. But the process is far more complicated than you might imagine. Here, you will gain in-depth knowledge of the publishing industry.

WHATEVER

You are responsible for stewarding the message that God is sharing to you and through you. As an author, you are also responsible for translating that message into a great reading experience for your audience.
