November 18, 2019 By Lynn Austin

ACFW 2019 Recap

October 10, 2019 By Cara Putman

The end of September found me in San Antonio for the ACFW National Conference. It's one of my favorite weeks of the year, as I get to reconnect with many of my writing buddies including several of the women on this blog. It's such fun and then one way I give back to the writing world that has been so good to me. We also had board meetings where we started planning next year's conference in St. … [Read more...]
