The Write to Publish conference for 2024 concluded last Friday and was a wonderful success.
We had over 300 in attendance, making for great opportunities to meet new people and develop what will be lasting connections.
We heard from a variety of key speakers. Brett Harris gave a “Challenge to the Truly Ambitious.” Trillia Newbell had to cancel at the last minute due to pneumonia. Fortunately, I was able to give Wednesday’s keynote and Tricia Goyer gave Thursday’s. Jane Friedman gave three insightful plenary addresses, bringing a unique perspective to the writing life. We had 40 professional faculty who met with authors and presented a combined fifty-seven hours of instruction. We also enjoyed a private concert by Dove Award-winning artist Sandra McCracken.
The Author Conservatory held a preconference event, and nearly 100 of its students attended.
Congratulations to Dan Balow for his expert work as the conference director. Believe it or not, we are already planning for 2025! Hope to see you there.
