On top of that she is the Genesis coordinator for the Historical Romance category. She also volunteers at the ACFW conference when she attends. We appreciate Tiffany’s efforts on behalf of ACFW. Thank you. Margaret …
Talk it Out with SRS
By Mindy Starns Clark “I could hear the sound of Travis’s breathing.” That’s what I said, anyway, into the headset for my voice dictation program. As sometimes happens, it didn’t quite get that. Instead, it typed, “I could hear the sounds of Travis breeding.” Uh oh! Not in the CBA! Occasional gaffs aside, I’m a huge fan of writing by …
Trader 4:29
by D.M. Webb It worried me. This date looming before me. What was I going to write? Fine time for writer’s block to hit. But as in all things with God, He provides. Today my AFA Journal arrived, and I read an article about Building 429. Then to top it off I watch a YouTube link via K-LOVE on Facebook, …

There are several other Christian writers conferences every year that are very good and are in wonderful settings, but those are all for both fiction and non-fiction writers.

ACFW Conference: Why I’m Going
It’s been amazing to see God work in my life this past year as I delve into a new journey of writing. When I ventured to take the first step, I did what I always do to acquire info-I Googled.
