Due to the corona virus, this conference has been rescheduled to October 12-13, 2020.
If you write, or read, books that matter – books with substance and soul – then this is the place for you.
Writing for Your Life welcomes you to Colonial Church at 6200 Colonial Way in Edina, Minnesota for our Writing for Your Life Spiritual Writers’ Conference! The conference is open to all who are interested in spiritual writing, as well as those interested in reading spiritual books (more on that below!). Speakers include Barbara Brown Taylor, other popular Christian authors, and representatives from the Christian publishing industry. The main conference will take place on October 12-13, 2020, with an optional post-conference seminar – The Business of Being a Spiritual Writer (separate registration required) – on October 14.
In addition to Barbara Brown Taylor, our featured speakers include: authors Sophfronia Scott, Tony Jones, Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew, and Jeff Munroe, publishing editors Lisa Kloskin (Fortress Press) and Naomi Krueger (Beaming Books), and Writing for Your Life’s Brian Allain. Also participating are emerging authors Stephanie Williams O’Brian, Kari van Wakeren, and Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez. You can learn more about each speaker through the links below.
We are pleased to note that this conference includes a Reader Track. These will be breakout sessions where our speakers offer presentations on reading spiritual books, rather than writing them. But all breakout sessions are open to all attendees, and you will not need to select anything in advance.
Early-bird tuition (through March 31) for the main conference is $325 and includes all General Sessions and Breakout Seminars (both Writer and Reader Tracks), morning refreshments, small group meetings with speakers and others, and an open-mic session. (After April 1, tuition will be $355.)
