Join Lancaster Christian Writers for our November meeting Saturday, November 23rd, at Lancaster Alliance Church, 210 Pitney Rd (off Hwy 30 across from Costco) from 9:30AM-12 noon (registration opens at 9) with conference speaker and author Carol Cool. Please note that this is 4th Saturday of month vs. the normal 3rd Saturday due to timing of Christian book/craft fair LancoExpo 2019 on the usual 3rd Saturday.WORKSHOP: Your Passion in Print: Writing About What Matters to You
So you really want to write about the things that matter to you, the things that break your heart or get you excited. But how do you do that for markets that are not quite as passionate about your topic as you are? This interactive workshop helps you identify passions, consider how to earn trust, and plan to build bridges and platforms, as well as recognize when to cut your losses.
SPEAKER: Carol released her first book in 2016—Finding Balance in the Circus of Life—based on a popular retreat she teaches. Carol has been published nationally and internationally in magazines and journals such as PrayerConnect, Clubhouse, Christian Home and School, and The Bulletin of University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. She runs her own editing and writing business, Cool Copy, which specializes in editing and writing in the corporate and nonprofit worlds. She’s taught at writers conferences in New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. She is a CLASS graduate and speaks at retreats and conferences throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Carol is also a pastor’s wife, ministering with her husband, Rev. Les Cool.
