These
long days do make clear we are heading into summer. Which means
Lancaster Christian Writers will be taking its usual hiatus for July
and August. So do join us for our final meeting before break .on Saturday, June 17th, 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 that our cancelled March
speaker, well-known conference speaker and author Emily Chase, was able to reschedule her planned workshop for our June meeting.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: "Hitting Your Target Every Time." 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.
THIS SUMMER'S CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCES Also, if you haven't yet registered for Christian writers conference this summer, we are privileged to have two of the biggest in our region, a great way to jump-start your summer writing, so I can't recommend highly enough attending one or the other or both.
