This is an excellent event. Free, no-obligation, and exceedingly helpful. Highly recommended. Open to any kind of writer, any skill level.
And FYI they are still accepting presenters. Say, if you could totally write the book, so to speak, on how to build the perfect bad guy, or maintain suspense, or some other important writerly skill. Ahem.
–> Classes BTW can be either a discussion-forum class led all week, or a on-hour, one-time chat session Q&A. (Or both — some people combine.) So you can pick the format that suits your needs and availability.

I am interested in this conference. May I have more information?
Check out the link at: http://www.catholicwritersconference.com
There should be an official contact person listed there.
If you have questions that I can answer I’m happy to do so. But though I have participated in the conference several times and am a member of the CWG, I’m not actually a person involved in putting on the confereence itself. (I am registered to attend, and will.)
Let me know if the link doesn’t work or you have any problems.
