Home -- Antelope Valley Christian Writers' Conference --

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 quickly becoming the annual event of
choice for aspiring writers in and around Southern California. The attendance at our spring-
time gathering has nearly tripled, from our first conference in 2006 to the fourth in 2009.
Our faculty 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 learn how the publishing business works, you are welcome to attend.

You can:

Request a partial or full scholarship, sponsored by Cecil Murphey.

Receive a personalized professional critique on your latest writing project.

Enter contests with cash prizes.

Bring your laptop computer and take advantage of our wireless Internet connection.

What’s Your Story?

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 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. So 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, writers are a unique breed. We have a passion to take a simple story 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 there.

You will have the opportunity to interact with professional writers and editors, and attend work-
shops in a wide array of creative categories. Together, we can help you take your writing to the
next level, the best it can be.

Complimentary refreshments, a continental breakfast, and a buffet lunch will be provided. Several budget-priced
hotels are in the local area for your convenience.

We hope you will seize this opportunity to gain fresh inspiration for your writing, and perhaps a little encouragement
for yourself as well.
