“Writing Biblically for Maximum Life Impact” at the Oregon Christian Writers Summer Conference Aug.15. Stobbe is currently an active literary agent and editor-in-chief of the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild. His specialty for 40 years has been helping first-time book authors.
The conference will be held at Aldersgate Retreat Center in Turner, Ore. Mindy Starns Clark and Susan May Warren, who have authored more than 50 books, will be the keynote speakers.
Classes cover all aspects of writing and are designed for all levels of writers. Nine agents, 22 editors and representatives from two subsidy-publishing houses will present question-and-answer panels, as well as one-on-one appointments. Writers at every skill level will have opportunities for appointments with pro-writers.
