If you’ve never been to a Writer’s Conference, you need to consider this one.
This was my 8th year attending and I still found new classes and workshops along with an awesome faculty. It was wonderful to have Vonda Skelton and Deb Raney back once again! Along with Jim Watkins and Torry Martin. I do hope Dr. Al pairs Yvonne Lehman and Torry up once again, what a team!
So glad to see old friends, Jorlyn, Sherry, Dee Dee, Erin, Michelle and others. Also meeting new sweet friends, Dorcas and hubby Zee and Alicyn who I’m still waiting to hear from, hint hint.. I hope all who attended left with a new inspiration and firm resolve to dig deeper into the writing craft.
- Returning home…after the conference: If an agent or editor requested material from you, send it out!
- Follow up new contacts with a simple email.
- Connect with another conferee to share goals each month.
- Organize notes from conference, including handouts from website.
- WRITE!
It was wonderful to be back, and so great to see you, Cynthia! Hope to be there in future years…a good chance to see you face-to-face!

Deb,
Oh, I do hope they bring you back again. You were off last year and that should have been enough!

It was my first time at Blue Ridge, and hopefully the first of many. What an awesome time I had. A time of learning, fellowship, and so much more. But best of all it was a time where I connected with God in such an amazing way. I can’t wait to go back.

I’m glad you were able to come this year and I agree that Blue Ridge is amazing! I hope you can make it back next year and we can meet up…

It was fun to see you, Cynthia! The conference was great and the keynote speakers were wonderful! My Hubs wants one of the T-shirts. 🙂 I’d better email Al.

Ane,
I remember being in Angie Hunt’s class with you for “The Sophisticated Novelist.” And now you have a debut novel out and were on faculty at Blue Ridge – awesome! Congrats for such wonderful progress and success : ) And I hope they still have t-shirts available for your hubby. And yes, the keynotes were wonderful, can’t wait to get the recordings so I can listen again.

It was so good to see you and Dewayne, Cynthia! There’s a big hole at Blue Ridge when y’all aren’t there!
Deb, I didn’t get a chance to visit with you this year. Next year, I’ll grab a seat at your table. I’m with Cynthia, I hope you’re back next year. Jann loved your class!
