Last Saturday during the meeting of the Catholic Writers of St. Louis, our leader Denise Montgomery gave a brief overview of the Catholic Writers' Guild Conference, which will be held in Arlington, Texas August 29-31.
The focus of this year's conference will be on "writing and the new evangalization."
Some conference features include:
Workshops on marketing and writing
Pitch sessions
Group critiques
Publishers panels
Publishers include: Ignatius Press, Ave Maria Press, St. Anthony Messenger, Pauline Books and Media, and others.
Presenters will be: Patti Armstrong, Faher Andrew Apostoli, Ann Lewis, Claudia Volkman, and several more. Click here for more information on presenters.
Sadly, my schedule doesn't permit me to attend this year, but I hope to make it next year.

ReplyDeleteWell-known fact: It is EXTREMELY hot in Arlington, TX in August.
Maybe next year it'll be someplace a little cooler? :-)
Hi Cathy,
DeleteSo, if you lived in Texas then moved to Georgia, does that make you a Lone Star Peach?
I'm not sure about where the conference will be next year.
And I think it's hot in August just about everywhere this year. Our expected temperature here in Missouri today is 107.
Stay cool,
Donna
Have you attended this conference before then, Donna?
ReplyDeleteI am curious if you take St. Anthony's Messenger...one of last magazines with regular fiction!
Oh, SO SO hot!!!!
Hope you make it next year. And by then, that it isn't cooler in hot Arlington than it is here.
ReplyDeleteSounds like we're all feeling pretty hot, hot, hot!
