A Note From...

Dear [FIRSTNAME],

I just got back from the Colorado Christian Writers Conference at the YMCA in Estes Park. The weather was a little out of whack--it went from rainy to snowy to sunny to rainy, but regardless, I did meet some wonderful writers. I taught a workshop on Organization Skills for Writers and I am hoping the participants left with at least one piece of new information.

The first morning I was there I had some deer stop by my cabin for some breakfast. They were very quiet, low maintenance guests. It was an amazing way to start the day.

Join Victoria Hanley, former shy violet and award-winning radio show host, for this workshop on how to find your voice—literally—and then use it to speak on behalf of what you write.
