We’re pleased to announce that we launched a blog for the Florida Christian Writers’ Conference today.

Held at the Lake Yale Conference Center near Orlando, the four-day conference  is one of the premier writers’ conferences in the U.S. More than 40 publishers and publications are represented, plus 34 freelance writers and three keynoters: Davis Bunn, Dr. Calvin Miller, and Cec Murphey.

In addition to over 70 elective workshop, a highlight of the conference is its 11 Continuing Classes:

• Career Track (12 hours) – Eva Marie Everson
• Teen Track – Bryan Davis
• Writing the Devotional – Mary Lou Redding
• Writing Articles – Jeff Herring
• Writing Fiction – Al Gansky
• Writing the Non Fiction Book – Cec Murphey
• Writing for Children – Mona Gadsberg Hodgson
• Marketing – Randy Ingermanson
• Writing, Just the Basics – Larry Leech
• Mentoring: Fiction Project  – Ken Kuhlken (limited: 10 participants)
• Mentoring: Non Fiction Project – Janis Whipple (limited: 10 participants)

Jim and I are teaching four workshops on social media marketing, branding, blogging, and pitching your project to editors/agents. When conference director, Billie Wilson, asked us over the weekend  if we would consider creating a blog for the conference, we hopped to it.

Forty-eight hours later, the blog is up and running, and we’ve collected blog posts from several faculty members whom we’ll be featuring during the next few weeks.

Minutes after we launched the blog, Billie e-mailed us:

I LOVE the blog you created for us!!! It’s beyond anything I expected and I am thrilled.

If you’ve never been to a writers’ conference and are mulling over whether to attend one, we urge you to read the Florida Christian Writers’ Conference blog. You’ll learn a ton about how writers’ conferences work, and how to prepare to attend one.

We hope you’ll join us in Florida Feb. 26-March 1. We’d love to meet you!
