Join us June 12, 13, and 14th, 2025, with Keynote speaker Michelle Rayburn.
Michelle has spent over two decades finding hope in the trashy stuff of life, amusing and inspiring with a blend of humor and biblical teaching. She has authored nine books—including the Selah Awards finalist "Renewed: A 6-Week Personal or Small Group Bible Study" in the ReMade series and the Golden Scroll and Christian Market Awards winner "Classic Marriage: Staying in Love as Your Odometer Climbs."
As a freelance designer and indie publishing expert, she’s a whiz at combining her creativity with sharp editing skills to help authors bring their visions to life under their own publishing imprints. From copyediting to cover design and interior formatting, Michelle is a one-stop shop for indie authors. When not writing books, she’s delighting her readers through her weekly podcast and Substack blog Life Repurposed with Michelle Rayburn.
