If you write or read books that matter – books with substance and soul – then this is the place for you. Writing for Your Life invites you to our Fall 2020 Online Conference, featuring authors Diana Butler Bass, Parker Palmer, Philip Yancey, Sophfonia Scott, Sharon Koenig, Vivian Mabuni, Amy Julia Becker, Brandan Robertson, Karoline Lewis, and Jana Riess, along with publishing industry experts Greg Johnson (WordServe Literary Agency), Lil Copan (Broadleaf Books), Deborah Arca (Chalice Press), and Lyn Cryderman (consultant). Our conference also includes several emerging authors!
The conference takes place November 16-20, 2020, but don’t worry – attendees can enjoy recordings of all sessions for the following 3 months.
Tuition for the conference is only $249 and includes all presentations, live Q&R with speakers, all book discussions, worship service, and an open-mic session.

You do not need to be an experienced writer to attend. Our conferences have a reputation for very high quality speakers, collegiality, and a lack of competitiveness among attendees, so please do not be intimidated if you have not yet published much. Come join us and enjoy the supportive environment!
