Does the thought of attending a writers conference make you nervous?
Winston Churchill said, “Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.”
Instead of worrying in advance, plan in advance by reading past blog posts with valuable advice on preparing for a writers conference.
Nervous about attending a writers conference? Prepare, don’t worry.
Edie Melson from The Write Conversation guest blogged “Top Ten Reasons to Attend a Writers Conference.”
“Plug in Your Power Tool — Prayer” was written by Lydia E. Harris to provide instruction in gathering a prayer support team for your writing.
Pack your proposal, not your manuscript, in your tote bag, because Terry Whalin advises that “Editors Read Book Proposals, Not Manuscripts.”
The Northwest Christian Writers Association wrote a book just to relieve conference jitters and help conference attendees know exactly what to do before, during, and after a conference. Purchase on Amazon here.
The Christian Writer’s Coach book details what to do before, during, and after a writers conference.

In 2009, I attended my first writers’ conference. Was I nervous? No…yes…no…okay, yes. What did I do about it? I got super ultra prepared.

Good for you! I didn’t prepare at all, didn’t even know how to prepare. In fact, I didn’t even plan what to wear and ended up scrounging around at the last minute trying to find clean “grown-up” clothes. In contrast to mommy clothes with goobies on them….
However, after that, you can bet I figured out how to prepare! That’s why I’m so passionate about the Christian Writer’s Coach book. It is an amazing tool!
