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 now in its eighth year.  Our instructors are
    among the finest and most experienced in the business.  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 sharpen your skills and learn how
the publishing business works, you are welcome to attend.

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’s Your  Story?  

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, we writers are a unique breed.  We have a passion to take a simple narrative 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 where you want to go.

    Update, May 6, 2012: Our seventh annual conference has just concluded, and by all accounts it was our
    best ever. Our attendance continues to grow, and we still manage to attract a blue-ribbon panel of speakers
    with over a century of experience between them. No doubt God has blessed our ministry, but we don't want
    to stop there...

    Beginning with our 2013 conference, we would love to relocate to a local Christian camp (more details here).
    Our date will be moved to September, so as to avoid conflicts with other Springtime conferences. For now we
    will stick to the two-day program, but in time we could expand to 3-4 days.

    Toward this end, we would love to secure a few corporate sponsors to help underwrite the event. There are
    many ways you could help us take it higher in the years ahead. Let's talk!
