What Can You Expect at the Quad-Cities Christian Writers Conference
If you enjoy writing but are afraid you might be"not good enough", this is the conference for you.
If you’d like to know how to improve and promote your writing, this is the conference for you.
If you need encouragement in your Christian walk as you learn how to better share your story of what God has done in your life, this is the conference for you.
If you enjoy a bit of zany-ness and laughter alongside solid classes, seminars and messages, this is the conference for you.
If you can stand to eat delicious meals alongside accessible professionals in the world of writing who are anxious to discover and encourage tomorrow's top writers, then this IS the conference for you.
If you're looking for a conference with lots of big, snooty "names", blow-hards who only want to tell how great they are, mentors ready to tear you and your work apart, and impersonal, impractical teaching, where the games go on, this is NOT the conference for you.
The 8th annual Quad-Cities Christian Writers Conference
April 8-9
Eldridge, Iowa
Join us for two full days of continuing classes, breakout sessions, friendly faculty, hands-on learning and an experience you’ll never forget.

Cec And Me hosted by Twila Belk & Cecil Murphey
I'm so excited. My good friend Twila Belk has a new online radio show on Toginet.com! She and best-selling author Cecil Murphey will be on each Tuesday night at 8 PM, 7PM central LIVE. They'll be interviewing guests each week on a variety of subjects from the serious to the not-so-serious with honesty, candor and a healthy dose of humor.
This Tues (October 18th) will be an interview with Jonathan Friesen, author of the ALA award-winning book, Jerk, California. Jerk is the story of a high school senior named Sam who just happens to have Tourette's Syndrome. It is a subject Jonathan knows from the inside out as he, too, was diagnosed with TS at the age of 19. Tune in tomorrow night and hear this fascinating interview.

Not Your Mama's Writing Conference
“I wrote, she wrote, we all wrote”. We also learned and laughed, talked and listened to great authors (some bestsellers), took notes and got critiqued. And then we ate and “coffee talked” and made some great life-long friends, all at the Quad-Cities Christian Writers Conference.
It's been a lot of fun writing about wonderful books this year, but it's a lot more fun to see positive comments about your own writing. Just imagine a big cardboard box arriving at the door. You open it up and see the cover of your very first published book. If that is a dream of yours, then read on, my friend.
If you’re looking for insight into the publishing industry, have questions about getting published or marketing your finished work, or just need some plain old-fashioned encouragement on your writing journey, QCCWC is the conference for you. From all over the country authors and participants gather to share ideas, to spend time together finding and giving help and encouragement in a conference unique because of its heart. Over and over again we've received feedback from people sharing comments like:
"There's a different Spirit at this conference".
"I didn't know the authors and teachers would be so accessible."
"I can't wait to try out what I've learned."
"Thank you for such a wonderful conference!"
We hope you'll take time to come and see for yourself the difference two short days can make in your writing and in your life.
From the website:
"The Quad-Cities Christian Writers' Conference is pleased to announce that some of the best writing instructors in the nation will join us in 2010 for two full days of breakout sessions, continuing sessions, keynote talks, one-on-one appointments, and inspiration.
In order to make an impact with your writing, it's important to LEARN THE CRAFT. That's what the Quad-Cities Christian Writers' Conference is all about. You won't find publishers, agents, and editors in attendance, but you will experience the care and coaching of a professional, knowledgeable staff. Our faculty will answer your questions, guide you, teach you, and show you how you can use your writing to change the world one word at a time."
Join us April 9-10 in Eldridge, Iowa. It could be your first step toward the thrill of seeing your work in print. For more information or to register go to http://www.qccwc.com/
I'll be looking for you!
