Join Lancaster Christian Writers Saturday, March 18th, at Lancaster Alliance Church, 210 Pitney Rd (off Hwy 30 across from
Costco) from 9:30AM-12 noon (registration opens at 9). We are delighted
to welcome back well-known conference speaker and author Emily Chase.
SPEAKER:
Originally trained as
an archaeologist, Emily Chase has lived and worked in places as
different as Laos, Mexico and Peru. Now she serves as staff chaplain
at Bethany Christian Services. She is the author of seven books,
including Help! My Family's Messed Up! (Kregel) and Standing
Tall After Falling Short (Moody). She and her husband of over forty
years reside in Mechanicsburg, PA.
WORKSHOP: When you shoot an arrow, you want it to hit the
target, right? As a writer, you want to reach a specific
audience. But how much time do you spend considering your audience as you
prepare your manuscripts? You don't want your readers to snore, start to
flip pages or, worse, close the book! In this practical workshop,
discover hints on how to sharpen your writing so it hits your
target audience every time.
