KCWC 2010: Last-Minute Details

Conference starts this coming Friday morning! Do you need help finding your way to Northside Baptist Church? Go to Mapquest for your directions. Or, see the directions on the website.


Most hotels are off I-65 on exit 94. To get from Exit 94 area to Northside, take Mulberry Street (US-62 W/KY-61 S) toward downtown and away from the Interstate. Pass under railroad overpass and take a right on Ring Rd. at the next light (Walgreen's on corner). Follow Ring Road about 2.7 miles. Turn right at light in Pear Orchard Rd. Intersection is at bottom of hill with no good landmarks. Go 1.7 miles. Church is on left. There will be signs to direct you to registration.

For plenty of information on Elizabethtown, go to Touretown.com .

Tips on making the most of the conference...
  • Pray for God to lead you so that you may get everything out of the event that He wants you to receive.
  • Study the publications and websites of our visiting publishers and editors so you will know what types of material they are looking for and be prepared with ideas for them.
  • Get a buddy to take the workshops you cannot take and compare notes.
  • Look for people with similar genre interests to fellowship with during meals and breaks.
  • Dress comfortably.
Complete conference information is on the website at www.kychristianwriters.com. To ask questions, e-mail jvsliger@gmail.com or kcwcregistrar@gmail.com.

See you on the 11th!

Ready, Set.....Plan Your Trip!

Have you registered for KCWC 2007? It's not too late. Details are on the website at www.kychristianwriters.com. Since the print brochure was mailed out this spring, we've added a fiction workshop (A Novel Approach to Fiction) and manuscript critiques. Again, see the website for more.

If you've already registered, it's time to get ready for your trip. Elizabethtown is a great city. The visitor center's website at www.touretown.com is one of the best I've ever run across. Take a few minutes to explore the site. You'll find a restaurant guide, hotel guide, attractions, events...the works!

The conference venue this year is Grace Heartland Church, 801 Pear Orchard Road. See the church website at http://www.graceheartland.org/. This is our first year to meet at this gorgeous new facility.

Be sure to look at the map and directions on our brochure or website. Most of you will come to town on I-65 and get off on Exit 94 on Mulberry Street. If you're coming from Louisville, you'll bear right off the ramp. Coming from the south, you'll turn left at the top of the ramp onto Mulberry. Continue on Mulberry to Ring Road (there's a Walgreen's on the right at this intersection). I mention Walgreen's because I have never been able to see the street signs in Etown in time to make the turn while dealing with the traffic. Turn right and follow Ring Road to Pear Orchard (traffic light) and turn left. Watch for the church on the left soon after the turn.

Looking forward to seeing you at KCWC 2007.
