We've been toying awhile with a Novel Journey scholarship but kept putting it off for lack of funds and time. God has a way of encouraging worthy causes though.
While Ane and I were attending the Blue Ridge Mtn Writer's Conference this past May, a young lady who I remembered giving me encouragement at my first conference sat next to us and mentioned she would love to attend ACFW's conference but funds were a problem.
She has several manuscripts to show for her dedication. She's ready to take her writing to the next level and hopefully in the next few years be ready for publication.
We'd like to thank the following sponsors for helping to absorb some of the cost of sending this young lady to the upcoming ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) conference:

Hi Brenda! If you find Gina and Ane at the conference, you'll see me lurking nearby-- Janet Rubin, 2nd year member/atendee, slightly less terrified of editors, addicted to chocolate...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet you!
Brenda, I'm so excited to see you investing in your writing by joining ACFW and even more excited about your involvment in your local ACFW Low Country chapter. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you to our sponsors!
Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI live in Goose Creek, 10 minutes from Summerville.
I know you'll enjoy the conference and make the most of it. Looking forward to buying your books one day.
Dear, dear Gina, Ane, and Jessica. Thank you so very much for blessing me with your enthusiasm and much-appreciated gift from God. I would mention how thrilled I am to be going to Dallas, but my stomach churns at the thought. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next on the jouney...
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Great idea guys.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Brenda. And, don't worry--those scary editors are actually very nice.
Yay, Brenda!! I can't wait to see what God has for you in Dallas ...
