We have an exciting line up of ‘WorDshops’ coming your way
this spring. What is a WorDshop? Think of it as a ‘mini-conference’ – a day of
speakers and workshops geared to encouraging and assisting both new and
seasoned writers in their craft and calling. It’s a wonderful way to connect
with other writers in your area, and you’re sure to come away inspired and
equipped.
This year there are several WorDshops planned across western
Canada, including events in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba. (See the listing below or go to the Inscribe website – http://inscribe.org/events/wordshops
) The overall theme for 2017 is ‘Write Words’, but each event has its own flair
and features seasoned and award winning Canadian Christian writers as keynote
presenters. As well, each WorDshop includes a variety of break out workshops.
For more information, visit the Inscribe website.
Registration is online and is a two-step process. First, fill out the
application form. Then, go to the online store and pay for your session. You
can also register at the door, although there is a discount for registering
online. Local authors that attend have the opportunity to sell their books, and
there are door prizes and other incentives, too.
If you’re looking for a way to connect with other authors of
faith, or if you need some inspiration, why not come to the WorDshop nearest
you?

What an exciting line-up! (I get to organize the food for the Edmonton one!) I hope that next year we can host a few WorDshops out east. Members, do you realize Tracy (our InScribe VP) will help you set up a WorDshop, show you how to find speakers, advertise, etc. and that we can even pay a venue deposit up front if need be? I know our eastern members would love a chance to attend a WorDshop and meet each other. Anyone interested, contact VP@incribe.org .
ReplyDeleteYes! I concur!
DeleteImpressive, for sure.
ReplyDeleteWish I had wings so I could attend each one!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea, Marnie. You could pick me up in Barrhead and we could fly together.
