Writers' Getaway

An overnight getaway for Christian women who are looking for practical help and encouragement as they pursue their dreams to publish.

What to Expect

Kathy Collard Miller and Cindi McMenamin will be offering encouragement, instruction and one-on-one coaching at the "Writers' Getaway" scheduled just prior to The Springs this Fall in Three Rivers, CA. They will:

  • answer your questions about writing and publishing

  • inspire you with ideas and options for getting your writing in front of readers

  • encourage you with the difference between marketing yourself and marketing the message God has placed on your heart

  • equip you with the essentials for writing successfully in today's world

  • instill hope in you to keep writing for God's glory

  • coach you, individually, in the area of your writing where you most need help or encouragement

Plus, Kathy and Cindi will share vulnerably and from their hearts how to bring your motives before God and stay surrendered to the One for whom you write.
