From the earliest of times, God has called upon his people to write down a message for the benefit of future generations. Some brought words of warning or rebuke, while others conveyed encouragement or comfort. In every age and nation, including our own, faithful believers have come forward to answer that call. Is this you? The Antelope Valley Christian Writers’ Conference is now in its seventh year. Our instructors are among the finest and most experienced in the business. Clearly the Lord has blessed our efforts, and we feel confident that he will continue to do so in the future.
Whether you’re an absolute beginner – a seasoned professional – or somewhere in-between, this may be for you. If you enjoy writing, and you’d like to sharpen your skills and learn how the publishing business works, you are welcome to attend.
As we know, God gives different gifts to different people. For some, they feel called to preach. For others, they travel far and wide as missionaries. Some serve God with music, others with gifts of bookkeeping or teaching or administration. We may have different roles, but we all share the same mission to serve God and his people.
What’s Your Story?
What is it that inspires you to write? Is it history, or romance, or theology, or mystery? Do you enjoy writing sci-fi, or fantasy? Or perhaps you feel moved to write the proverbial Great American Novel. Please don’t be misled by the name of our conference: We are Christians who write, but most of us don’t write about religious themes.
Clearly, we writers are a unique breed. We have a passion to take a simple narrative and build it into a finished product that will inspire others. For some it may be a lucrative full-time career. For others, it's a rewarding pastime. But wherever you come from - and wherever you want to go - we are all motivated by the simple joy of telling a story.
We can help you get where you want to go.
Group discounts are available for any church or school sending five or more.
A special program and price are available for teen writers (age 12-17).
Receive a personalized, professional critique of your latest writing project.
Fellowship with other writers who share your struggles, passion, and ambitions. Complimentary refreshments, a continental breakfast, and a catered lunch will be provided. Several budget-priced hotels are in the local area for your convenience.
We hope you'll join us for a time of refreshing in the desert.
