The Christian Writers Guild's WRITING for the SOUL conference will equip and inspire you. You'll get top-notch writing instruction, meetings with editors and agents, and unparalleled spiritual enrichment.


In 2011, WRITING for the SOUL will be at the Grand Hyatt Denver. In the heart of downtown just off the Sixteenth Street pedestrian mall, the Grand Hyatt features luxurious accommodations and convenient meeting rooms, plus easy access to Denver International Airport.


“The Grand Hyatt is easy to get to,” says conference host Jerry B. Jenkins, “and it's smack dab in the middle of hundreds of restaurants and other attractions. Plus the staff is eager to have us and promises to roll out the red carpet.”


For four days, you'll be challenged and encouraged through a variety of speakers, classes, and clinics designed to develop your writing craft as never before. We're expanding to offer seven morning continuing classes. Afternoons you can attend one of seven elective sessions, including four hands-on clinics: Magazine Query Letter, Fiction First Page, Fiction Dialogue, and our exclusive Thick-skinned Manuscript Clinic with Jerry B. Jenkins and Andy Scheer.

Read highlights and comments from our conference.


You'll be inspired by keynoters including best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs,Ken Davis and McNair Wilson. Jerry B. Jenkins will be your host and emcee. You'll enjoy times of inspiring worship with Steve Amerson and Shawn Wesley Graham.

And you'll be able to schedule 15-minute appointments with literary agents and editors from major Christian magazines and publishing houses. We'll anchor the entire WRITING for the SOUL conference with times of praise, worship, and prayer. Our desire is that inspiration and motivation will embrace you throughout your time at the conference.


Best of all, you'll meet and develop lasting friendships with other Christian writers who share your calling. You'll trade ideas, share experiences, and support one another in prayer.


Each conferee receives a binder with information detailing each literary agent and editor available for appointments, including their editorial needs. You'll also receive outlines for all seven morning continuing classes and afternoon clinics and workshops. You're certain to refer to this resource repeatedly during and after the conference.


Don't miss this opportunity to gain fresh inspiration and information for your writing. To register or learn about our easy payment plans, please call us toll-free at (866) 495-5177 or send an email for details. If you prefer, you can register online.


We look forward to hearing from you soon!
