Experience an unforgettable weekend of teaching and inspired writing featuring USA-Today’s best-selling author of 80 novels and founder of My Book Therapy and Novel Academy, Susan May Warren.

Held at the inspiring and historic Glen Eyrie Castle and Conference Center, this conference is packed with exceptional teaching, networking and fellowship opportunities for Christian authors and those who aspire to learn the craft.

This event is hosted by the local chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers.

Saturday's main event is "The Story Equation," featuring an intensive full day of five sessions with Susie May detailing her easy, organic, can’t-fail way to create compelling characters and plot a best-selling novel.

Using Susie May’s powerful technique, you’ll learn:

• The amazing trick to creating unforgettable, compelling characters that epic movies use!
• How to create riveting tension to keep the story driving from chapter to chapter
• The easy solution to plotting the middle of your novel
• The one element every story needs to keep a reader up all night
• How to craft an ending that makes your reader say to their friends, "Oh, you have to read this book!"

Friday's optional half-day gives attendees the opportunity to extend their conference experience. Spend the afternoon learning how to identify and incorporate key elements common to blockbuster movies—elements applicable to every genre—in an interactive coaching class with Susie May titled "How to Write the Super Novel."

Saturday registration includes full breakfast and lunch buffets at Glen Eyrie Castle. No meals are included on Friday.

Registration is open to anyone 16 years or older who desires to develop professional writing skills for publication, regardless of genre.
