American Christian Fiction Conference

ACFW

The conference this year was probably the best I've been to. Keynote speaker Robin Jones Gunn was wonderful. James Scott Bell held an all day workshop that was the most informative of all I went to. What I enjoyed most was networking, catching up with old friends and making new ones. Frank Peretti came to the awards gala to accept his lifetime achievement award which he humbley accepted. I'm already looking forward to next year! Below is a picture of me with my dear friend Shelley Shepherd Gray and Amy Clipson.

If anyone went to conference share your experience...

I too had a great time at the conference. Had my picture taken with Frank Peretti and that was the highlight. Had two editors interested in my manuscript, and they have the proposal with the full manuscript. So many people there that I missed spending time with some I hoped to see and visit with.

So much to do and people to meet, makes it hard to do everything you want to. It was nice to see you there!

I had a great time too! It was wonderful seeing all my old friends and meeting people face-to-face after knowing them online.

I agree! There's nothing like talking to and seeing people we only know through the internet. I learned as much sitting around the lobby with other authors, agents and editors than I did in some of the workshops!

I did, too, Beth. I loved the lobby time.
