Writing for Your Life welcomes you to the Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI for our Writing for Your Life Spiritual Writers’ Conference! The conference is open to all who are interested in spiritual writing. This conference focuses on inspiration and craft for spiritual writing, with some “how to get published” thrown in.
