Writers of Inspirational Novels

We have an exciting opportunity coming up in May. Literary agent Chip MacGregor will be in town and has graciously offered to meet with WIN members. Instead of holding our regular meeting on the first Saturday of the month, we will be meeting at the home of Gina Conroy on the first Sunday, May 5 at 2:00 p.m.

Chip Macgregor of Macgregor Literary has a comprehensive knowledge of the industry—from book development to writing, acquisition to production, marketing to sales. He has secured more than 1,000 book deals for authors with all of the major publishers in both CBA and ABA.

For directions to Gina’s house, please email us at winacfw@yahoo.com.

Ever wonder what the difference is between writing a mystery or suspense? What if you want a little bit of both, but are not sure how to balance them? In Taking the Suspense Out of Mystery Writing, Gina Conroy explains the differences between the two genres and what readers of each expect. She will show you how you can have elements of both in your story for a real page turner, not matter what genre you write.

Join us April 6, 1:00 p.m. at the Fellowship Lutheran Church in Tulsa. We’d love to see you there!

Author of Digging Up Death and Cherry Blossom Capers

If you missed today’s W.I.N. meeting, you missed out on a great experience! Our guest speaker, Michelle Lim, came all the way from Minnesota to help us brainstorm unique character traits, compelling plots, and much more. You can order your own copy of her book, Idea Sparking: How to Brainstorm Conflict in Your Novel, from the My Book Therapy website.

If you love the Lord and want your writing to reflect His presence and power in our lives, W.I.N. is where you need to be. Writers will learn the craft of writing through guest speakers, special workshops, and through studying books on writing. Members will have the opportunity to network with other Christian fiction writers, keep abreast of marketing trends, meet editors and published authors, and learn of new publishing opportunities.
