Ready to Up Your Game as a Writer?
Writing a book is hard. Like running a
marathon. On your hands and knees. In 115 degree weather. In the desert.
I might be exaggerating a bit, but it’s really, really hard.
Outlining the manuscript, tidying up the grammar, avoiding those pesky passive verbs, and crafting a compelling story or message isn’t easy.
But there’s so much more to the writing life than just the writing.
That’s what the 2023 Illumify Writers Conference is all about—and I’m more excited about it than any of our previous conferences...
