Cecil Murphey Scholarship Fund

If you'd like to attend our conference, but you can't afford the full tuition, there's hope. Our
keynote speaker Cecil Murphey has agreed to help, by funding a small number of scholarships for
aspiring writers.

    More than 30 years ago when Cecil sensed God wanted him to write, he made a
    double commitment: To never stop learning, and 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 started out. He learned from others and now he wants to pass on what he’s
learned. He has taught at hundreds of writers' 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.”
