Billie recently received this letter and Pat has given us permission to share this with our readers. It is always so good to hear from those who have attended conference. If you have comments you would like to share about this year's conference in March, or if you would like to suggest something for next year, e-mail Billie at billiewilson@cfl.rr.com or Kindred Heart Writers at clella37@yahoo.com.
Hello Billie
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the wonderful experiences I had at the 2010
Florida Christian Writers Conference.This was my first conference and everything was new to me but everyone I met made me (and my husband) feel welcome. Many of my new acquaintances now seem like old friends!
I especially appreciated the workshops by Crystal Bowman. She is an excellent teacher, a great writer and a wonderful person and I learned a great deal from her.
Myappointments with Jesse Florea from Focus on the Family and Elaina Meyers from Standard Publishing, who each reviewed one of my manuscripts, were encouraging and helpful and I now have the opportunity to submit stories to both of these publishers. (I can hardly believe this!)
I enjoyed every workshop and meeting with other faculty and staff and every minute of the Conference. I can hardly wait for the next one.
I want you to know that I appreciate all the hours of work you must have put in to arrange such a helpful, inspiring event. (Your sense of humor is inspiring, too!)
God Bless you and thank you again.
Pat Schmidsrauter
The 25th annual Florida Christian Writers Conference, March 1-4 2012.
