For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. (1 Colossians 1:9–10 NIV)

Please note that this conference will not be recorded.

Throughout the conference, the friendliness and genuine caring of so many people pulled me in. All the talk of writing, projects, books, and tackling social media filled my mind. The contrasts intrigued me: newbies and the experienced, plans and last-minute challenges, laughter and tears. It was wonderful. 

This is my tribe. It was worth it. I’ll be back. -Linda Heath

We shared stories about how God had redeemed our stories and resurrected some of the darkest moments of our writing journeys. And, then, we celebrated when God redeemed a moment right before my eyes, and I got the text that I had been dreaming of and praying for. -Taylor Bennett

I truly found everything, from the keynote speaker to the breakout sessions to the networking times, to be very valuable and helpful! I seriously came away from the day so inspired to continue my writing journey, as well as a sore thumb from all the notes I took. -S.M.
