American Christian Fiction Writers Conference
I know you love to read or you wouldn’t be here at Amish Reader. But if you also love to write, have I got a suggestion for you: Get yourself to this fall’s American Christian Fiction Writers Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana! ACFW is an organization geared toward meeting the needs of new and seasoned authors alike, as well as offering a venue for readers to learn more about their favorite authors and discover the vast array of choices available from the Christian Fiction market. Each year, ACFW hosts an amazing conference with classes taught by many of your favorite authors. The conference also offers opportunities to meet editors and agents, fellowship with other writers (aspiring and published), and celebrate the best in Christian fiction.
The reason I’m talking about the conference here on this blog is because one of the sessions I’ll be teaching focuses on Amish fiction. Called “Amish 101”, the class includes an overview of the genre and the current state of the market, followed by an A-Z rundown of Amish life, practices, and beliefs. As the Amish fiction genre expands and more and more authors consider trying their hand at writing it, I thought it would be helpful to provide a full understanding of the “big picture”—i.e., why the Amish live the way they do and why their world is such an interesting place for Christian writers to explore.
For more information, check out the ACFW website, where you’ll see that the conference is shaping up to be awesome, as always. I can’t wait to go. Hope to see you there too!
