Need help figuring out how to negotiate the ins and outs of the Florida Christian Writers Conference? I’ve developed a new Web site -- WritersConferenceGuidelines.com, to help other writers. The site evolved from an idea at the 2006 FCWC.
The site is designed to help writers master the conference submission process. You’ll learn:
- What goes into writing different parts of your submission package and how to do it right
- How to write cover letters, queries, book proposals
- How to format articles and manuscripts
- Genre tips
- How to prep for meeting with faculty

What a wealth of information and much needed help from Mr. Vonhof! Even though I attended one FCWC in 2000, I commuted and feel I wasn't able to totally participate or benefit with traveling back and forth. I'm sure I wasn't able to fully enjoy the experience or really connect with people. I still had young children at home then, so I was trying to hurry home as soon as it was over, instead of going to after hours events. I am looking at my experience at the 2009 FCWC as trying it again, as if it were the very first time.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly be using the information found on WritersConferenceGuidelines.com and I am very grateful that Mr. Vonhof was so innovative to create this site. Thank you very much!
Wow. Ton of outstanding material on John's site.
