Cecil Murphey Scholarship Fund


    If you'd like to attend our conference, but you can't afford the full tuition, there's
    hope.  Beginning with this year's conference, we are pleased to announce that we
    have lined up a new sponsor.  Cecil Murphey, one of the most prolific and
    successful writers in our business, has agreed to help.

    More than 30 years ago when Cecil sensed God wanted him to write, he made a
    double commitment:

    1- To never stop learning; and

    2- To help other writers in any way he could.

Every day since then, Cec has prayed that double commitment because he wants
it to remain a significant part of his daily living.  Over the years, Cec has changed
the way he asks, but here is how he currently prays: “God, help me to improve
so that I can use my improvement to help others improve.”

Many years ago he established the Cecil Murphey Scholarship Fund, to help aspiring writers
receive the training they desperately need to succeed in this fiercely competitive field.

Cec Murphey is a teacher. Many of his students remind Cec of himself when he first began. He
learned from others and now he wants to pass on what he’s learned. Cec has taught at hundreds
of conferences across the nation and overseas.

Cec shares their enthusiasm and especially loves to see writers grow and develop. It's a thrill for
him to see new writers get their work published for the first time. “When I teach, I feel as if I am
God's visible hands reaching out to encourage, enrich, and educate others.”
