I can’t wait! In one month, the inaugural Going Deeper Conference begins. This writers conference is the brain-child of author-friend Erica Vetsch, and will be held in her hometown of Rochester, Minnesota April 25-27.
Yes, I will be co-teaching a fun class with Erica and Michelle Griep, but what I’m most looking forward to is a weekend with sister writers.
There is something so nourishing about spending time with people who share your passion, craft, and calling: the empathy, the shared woes and joys, the encouragement, and new insights. And time with agent Cynthia Ruchti, authors Misty Beller, Jocelyn Green, Jaime Jo Wright, Tara Johnson, Janyre Tromp, and Gabrielle Meyer? Yes, please!
If you are a writer and can make it to Rochester, Minnesota next month, I invite you to join us. You won’t find a more casual, affordable, and useful conference anywhere. Here is a look at the schedule:
You don’t have to be a professional writer to attend, you just need to be serious about your writing. I hope you will join us. All the details are here. Register today! And tell me, do you enjoy spending time with like-minded people?

This sounds like a useful and invigorating conference. I wrote the first half of my novel on the bank of Bear Creek in beautiful Rochester. My calendar is already filled but I hope the event becomes an annual retreat. Iowa and Minnesota need more literary get-togethers!
