The dates for our 2020 workshop are October 7-10.
After a lot of prayer and discussion, we’ve made the decision to have the 2020 Write About Jesus Workshop online only.
I could take a lot of space to explain our reasons, but I’m pretty sure you can figure out most of them. I spent several days feeling very down about the whole situation— it’s another loss in a season of so many losses. Then I decided that instead we would do our best to make the workshop better than ever.
So we’re going with the idea that it will be:
Write About Jesus—and then some!
Will we have our usual great selection of classes, taught by wonderfully gifted and talented writers, publishers and music business pros? Of course!
Will there be a songwriting competition? Yes, including small competition groups, live feedback, written evaluations, and prizes for the winners.
What about Compass Groups? Devotions? Worship times? The Writers In The Round concert? The Write About Jesus t-shirt? Yes to all of those!
We’re even re-thinking our notebook to make it more informative and more fun.
Here are a few things we want you to know right now:
The workshop will run from October 7-10. We’ll start on Wednesday and end on Saturday.
We’re planning to have classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday during the day. This will make it possible for most people to attend without taking off work while we'll still offer just as many class sessions as usual.
The cost of the workshop has been slashed!
If you register by September 7, the cost is $200. If you register after September 7, the cost is $250. Because of the low cost, we won’t be offering any other discounts.
We’ll be sending out more details in the weeks to come. For now, we’d really appreciate your prayers as we plan to make 2020 an unforgettable time of learning and yes, community!
