Vision Statement

We welcome new writers, established writers, and everyone interested in the writer's craft. Our purpose is to glorify God and His Son Jesus Christ through all we do as we encourage others in the craft of writing.

Nick and Mary serve as co-coordinators of the conference along with the help of a core committee of volunteers.

Mary is an award-winning author and thirteen-year veteran of the conference. She has worked as a program coordinator at a library and a spirituality center.
