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 springtime gathering continues to grow, along with the quality of
our faculty.  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.  


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.   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 workshops in a wide array of creative categories.  
Together, we can help you
take your writing to the next level, the best it can be.  

Enter a contest with cash prizes.

Receive a personalized professional critique on your latest writing project.

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

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.
