Dear Christian Writers,
For twenty-seven years, the OC Christian Writers Fellowship has provided beginning to advanced Christian writers an opportunity to polish their skills, develop their careers, and network with professionals in the inspirational market. All in a one-day, cost-effective format.
Establishing a writing career is one of the most challenging tasks for the aspiring writer. Investing in your training can be expensive. Our goal is to provide a reasonably priced program that gives attendees the best value in a literary event in California.
We constantly are seeking out accomplished fiction and memoir writers, magazine editors and literary agents who are building their client lists. We also are looking for outstanding freelancers who are willing to train new writers and identify ways that published authors can advance the reach of their work.
Attendees consistently return to this unique one-day format because of the contacts and training they received and the opportunity to learn from professionals. We realize that there are larger, more expensive conferences you can attend, but there is no one-day program in California that offers the wide selection of seasoned professionals willing to meet with beginning to advanced writers than the OC Christian Writers Conference.
Unique Features All registrants have the opportunity to attend two consults (based on availability) with any of the faculty who will also be hosting tables at lunch. Another unique feature is our Friday night buffet with the faculty. In a casual atmosphere, you can speak to authors, editors, and agents. The panel discussion immediately following the dinner is always lively and informative.
The conference seeks to recognize the new and the accomplished writer who is ready for the next step of representation and publication. That's the reason we sponsor so many writing contests:
- Beverly Bush Smith Aspiring Writer Award
- WestBow Press Writing Contest
- Memoir Writing Contest
- Devotional Writing Contest
- Fiction Writing Contest
- Book Proposal Contest
Friday All-Day Workshops
These classes are designed for writers who have a WIP and want to significantly advance their skills. The classes are small, workshop style, and run all day. The instruction and feedback is personal and expert. This year's conference offered
- Memoir Workshop
- Fiction Workshop
We are committed to satisfying the needs of each attendee.
We hope to see you on May 18 & 19, 2012 at Mariners Church.
John DeSimone
Conference Director
