Distinctives
A
good book proposal includes a section called
"distinctives" that explains why that book is
different from the others on a similar topic and
therefore should be published. While there are many
wonderful writers conferences, the Glorieta
Christian Writers Conference has several things
that make it different from others. These
distinctives are why we believe this is the
conference for you!
Meet
the Pros
With
a faculty of over 100
experts,
it can be difficult to meet with everyone with whom
you want to connect. The Meet
the Pros
Roundtables
will give you an opportunity to interact with three
different Professional Writers in a group
appointment type setting. Each evening, just before
dinner, each of the Professional Writers will be
addressing a specified topic with six people at a
roundtable. They will share basic information on
their topic for the first ten minutes with the
remaining twenty minutes for questions and answers.
A complete listing of Meet the Pros topics will be
provided in the registration packet along with a
sign-up
for your preferred
roundtables.
After the half-hour sessions, the group will
disperse for dinner. At this time, attendees will
get their food and may rejoin the roundtable and
continue the discussion or sit elsewhere--with a
different Pro, or with friends.
Designated
Dining
As
addressed above, at dinner on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday you will have the opportunity to sit
with the Professional Writers. During lunch on
those days you will be able to sit with the editors
of your choice for informal conversation. Each
editor will be assigned a table indicated by a
placard with their name. Tables will be filled on a
first-come, first-served basis. For breakfast each
day, you are invited to join other attendees with
similar interests. Based on the survey results,
different tables will be designated for those with
an interest in fiction, nonfiction, magazine
writing, etc.
Bonus
Sessions
Due to flight schedules and personal plans, many
attendees may be arriving early in the day before
the official conference opening and departing well
after the closing session. If you are one of those,
there are some bonus sessions you can attend. The
Prologue Sessions are before the conference and the
Epilogue Sessions are after the conclusion. These
bonus sessions are available to you at no
additional charge! See the Specific
Sessions
page for topic listings and check the website for
complete class descriptions.
Just
Write
Today's
publishing environment virtually requires writers
to be marketers as well. Yet many writers desire to
be published without having to develop an entire
ministry. These writers may be homeschooling moms,
missionaries, seniors or homebound, and have
valuable insights to share. If you fit this
description, we have developed a Comprehensive
Class and a complete track of workshops with you in
mind. Come to the GCWC, get encouraged--and get
published!
Critique
Services
Why
pay for services you don't need? While some
conferences advertise "free" critiques, their
registration fees are considerably higher than the
GCWC's. At the GCWC we offer a variety of
for-fee-critiques to help you grow and be your
best. Complete information on writing
critiques
and charges will be sent with your registration
packet and is available on the website.
