I look forward to writing conferences every year. Once I started attending regularly, I was hooked. I love the fellowship of other Christian writers. I like hanging around people who speak the same publishing language I do. I love getting the most recent industry news from well-published authors, editors, agents, and other professionals.
I love the motivation a writers’ conference stirs in my heart and brain. The encouragement and support an attendee receives at a conference is hard to fathom until you’ve actually experienced it. From one conference to the next, whether I received a couple of rejections, got discouraged about a project, or finished a project that was accepted and published, each conference brought cheerleaders to celebrate with me or push me to continue striving toward my goal.
