Conference Preparations Heating Up

In previous posts, we noted that Karen Moore Artl of Thomas Nelson Publishers will be our featured speaker for 2008. But there's more!

Bruce and Lynne Drysdale Patterson will be leading the worship sessions this year, and Lynne will be offering a workshop on songwriting. See their bios at http://www.messiahsongs.com/bio.html.

The official conference brochure will be mailed out soon, and we'll post conferences details on the KCWC website at http://www.kychristianwriters.com/. Bookmark the site and watch for updates.

Also, please subscribe to this blog, as we plan to post the updates here as well as on the site. If you subscribe, you won't miss a single update. If you need assistance in subscribing, please e-mail KCWCpub2008@gmail.com.

KCWC Plans for 2008

At the July meeting, the KCWC committee discussed the evaluations from the 2007 conference. Faculty and conferees alike offered praise for the spiritual atmosphere and for the content. Some said they felt a little rushed. Perhaps that's because the committee wants to pack as much information and encouragement as possible into the two-day conference.

At the August meeting, the committee will be working on next year's schedule. Karen Moore Artl of Thomas Nelson Publishers is the featured speaker. We want to offer workshops for unpublished writers, but we also want to provide continuing education and encouragement for experienced writers. All in two days' time!

Organizing a conference with a committee of volunteers is always a challenge. However, this committee holds a prayer time before each meeting. This week, would you also pray for 2008 planning as the committee makes decisions on scheduling and choosing faculty.
