Please note, the morning keynote sessions, including the devotion, worship, and Crown Award presentation, will be in webinar format, which means you will see
and hear the presenters and the hostess, but they won’t be
able to see you, and participants won’t be able to see each other.
All workshops will be in regular Zoom meeting format.
What you’ll learn…
In this session, we’ll look at the components of what it means to be an author who is a Christian in today’s market. What is the makeup of a Christian storyteller? What should our goal be? How can we be creative in telling our stories from a Christian worldview?
