CREATIVE
CALISTHENICS
with Terri Main


What role does
pre-writing play in the
writing process?
Sometimes when you find
you just can't get started
writing, you need to
warm up like an athlete
before a big game. In this
workshop you will learn
about the role of
pre-writing in the writing
process while having
hands-on fun with story
starters, writing prompts
and creativity exercises.

PUBLISHER-QUALITY
MANUSCRIPT
POLISHING
with Frank Creed

Quality must be written
into a book—it can't be
added later. And I mean
every jot and tittle. It’s
an author’s responsibility
to assure that their
document is the best
literary representation of
God’s personal gift (read
the Parable of the
Talents). A manuscript
that opens with three
chapters of data-dump,
or a character firing
bullets from a shotgun—
rather than shells or
slugs—is destined for the
rejection pile. Rightly so.

PORTRAYING FAITH IN
FICTION
with Karina Fabian


Karina Fabian, editor of
Faith-Filled Fiction
discusses one of her pet
peeves--stories that twist
religions or promote
stereotypes and
misinformation about
faiths. How do we portray
faith--even other faiths
accurately and
sympathetically without
sacrificing our own
integrity? She'll also
discuss creating alien
faiths for fictional
purposes as time and
interest allow.
