Would love to do New England Christian Writers Retreat - one of the greatest "finds" at my first conference (in addition to Edie!) was my dear friend Lori Roeleveld who is teaching there I believe!

By attending something regionally it's affordable.Linda Shenton Matchetthttp://www.lindashentonmatchett.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-84939072165359324192016-06-09T07:59:07.465-04:002016-06-09T07:59:07.465-04:00Felicia, I have attended 4 conferences within the ...Felicia, I have attended 4 conferences within the last 2 years. I now have an agent and my first book is under contract. I was awarded scholarships and worked extra hard to make the money to go. My husband took on extra work too. The investment is worth every penny. I will attend the New England Christian Writers Retreat and plan to go to the Greater Philly Conference. I get educated and encouraged at conferences.

I, like you, learned 2 years ago when I attended WTP that I was nowhere close to publishing my book. I connected with people from the industry, made friends, and started building my platform over these last couple of years. This weekend, I am able to meet publishers, editors and others to say "Thank you" for helping me on my journey. I am getting closer to a book publication, but still have a ways to go. I definitely would agree that a writing conference is vital in a writer's journey. Thanks again.Sheryl Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17533807303623973236noreply@blogger.com
