First Time Conferees!

If this is your first conference, never fear. We’ve all been there at one time. Faculty member Susan Neal aka Health and Fitness expert, will lead a First Timers Orientation on Wednesday afternoon at 5:15 to explain how things work and what to expect. What should you bring to a writers’ conference? 

  •     If you already have a book proposal completed, bring at least six copies.
  •     Bring One Sheets for appointments.
  •     Bring Business Cards
  •     Bring a laptop, iPad, etc, if you use one.
  •     Bring a journal and pen.
  •     Toiletries – they are not provided at the conference center
  •     Hair dryer if you need one, also not provided at the center

A Willingness to Listen and Learn – let the voices of experience explain the world of writing to you.

A heart of worship. Our worship leader Lynn DeShazo will lead us in low-key praise and worship music. Let it minister to your soul. Allow God to show you how to speak to the world through your written word.

Your prayer requests. We will have a designated prayer basket for your requests and prayer warriors who will pray for them. No request is too big or too small.

Comfortable clothes and shoes. Most of the events are inside but bring good walking shoes if you want to take a walk on the grounds. The temperature outside will probably be in the low 80’s during the day, high 50’s at night. Please bring bug spray if you plan to go outside. Also bring a sweater if the rooms are too cool.
