I love getting royalties twice a year from my book sales. The best way to get published and start that adventure is to go to a writers' conference. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only way! CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE is one of the best.
A girl from the South, I wondered what I was doing in New Mexico at last year's CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE. I found out, and quickly! From the moment we got to the Ghost Ranch, we hit the ground running. We received valuable information on all angles of writing and got to meet famous editors face-to-face. The food was good and seminars with professional speakers, editors, and trainers were unforgettable!
You'll never regret going to a CLASS event.

In addition to offering invaluable writing and speaking instruction and opportunities to meet with agents and editors, the CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE offers many opportunities for prayer, worship, and spiritual growth. The instructors at the CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE are focused on doing the Father's will, not just the business of writing and speaking.
At the conference, I received invaluable instruction on editing my novel, which helped me write more economically and cleanly before I pitched my work to agents and editors.
The instructors at CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE are friendly, eager to teach others, and seemed genuinely concerned about my work and career as a speaker and writer.

Attending my first CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE was like walking into Phys Ed class in Jr. High for the first time--I knew I couldn't do what the others could do, I knew I would look like an idiot, and I really wasn't looking forward to exposing myself. But all of my rookie writer's fear and intimidation left the room when I discovered that the faculty really cared about newbies. They weren't there to compete with each other or with me. And--to beat all--God showed up, too. I can honestly say I would not be the writer I am today without CLASS CHRISITAN WRITERS CONFERENCE. Grab your gym clothes and sneakers--you need to be there.

The CLASS CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCE was the perfect avenue for catapulting my writing project toward the publishing arena. I left the conference with a completed book proposal, an editor, a mentor, three proposal requests, and the skills for establishing a platform. Much of what I learned in the sessions I was able to use immediately upon my return home. Since that time, I have had devotionals accepted for publication, publishers reviewing my proposal, and churches calling me to book speaking engagements after receiving my one-sheet. CLASS met my every need as a first-time author, providing information and professional guidance from the writing industry, as well as encouragement to step out into unfamiliar territory.
