Transcendent books change the world.

“But my book isn’t going to change the world,” you’re probably saying.

Not so quick.

Every author I know wants to use their writing skills to make a difference. Even in one life. Heck! Even “to-do” manuals are intended to make life a little easier.

Making a difference to you might mean

• Stanching the flow of sex trafficking, even a little bit, in the world.
• Bringing hope and healing to someone suffering from grief or trauma or mental illness.
• Shedding light on the plight of pioneer women in your historical fiction novel.

It could even mean putting a smile on someone's face through a humorous story. 

See what I mean?

Although making money on book sales isn't bad by any means, writing a book just for the money seems like a waste. What a lost opportunity!

And where do you learn how to write that transcendent book?

At the Illumify writers conference on June 5, here in Littleton, Colorado.

Our morning keynote speaker, Paul Young, wrote, arguably, the transcendent book thus far in the twenty-first century western world. He’ll address us via live remote—and we’ll leave time for questions at the end.
