Writer’s Conferences are for me one of the keys to success as a writer. Author Kathy Collard Miller’s testimony echoes that truth. Welcome Kathy and thanks for sharing.
I attended my first writers conference in 1980 when I’d only had one article and one short story published. I didn’t know another writer in the world and had no clue what to do about the book idea I had. I was shocked when the editors there treated me like someone important. I made writer friends and one gal only lived 15 minutes away from me. She mentored me and almost literally taught me to write. I returned to that writers conference year after year, grew in my writing skills, and connected with editors who opened doors. Now I have over 50 non-fiction books published and it all started at that writers conference in 1980. I’m so grateful the Lord led me there.
