Editor Mick Silva

“Producing remarkable work takes humility. Perseverance. And a story felt in the heart.” Mick Silva

This year the OC Christian Writers Conference is excited to have Mick Silva on their list of outstanding faculty members.  Mr. Silva will be leading an all day interactive workshop on writing the full length memoir on Friday, May 18th.  A gifted editor, Mick worked for many years for well-known Christian publishers.  He has since taken his knowledge and skills and has devoted his talents to helping writers become authors. Mick runs the online writing community, YourWritersGroup, and has recently worked with bestselling author Ann Voskamp.

Every writer has a story to share, but how do you tell your story so it resonates with readers? In his all day workshop, Mick will share with attendees how he helped bestselling authors navigate this expansive genre. If you have dreamed of getting your memoir published, then you won’t want to miss the opportunity to spend a day with Mick.  He brings a mentor’s eye to the process of creating experiences readers can’t ignore, and agents and publishers praise his passion for a story well told.

If you have a story to tell, then don’t wait! The full-length memoir writing class will be limited to 10 people. Attendees will need to have 10 pages of their work in progress to work on in the class.

More information about Mick Silva can be found at www.YourWritersGroup.com or on Facebook at Your Writers Group.

Your Infinite Publishing Potential with Alice Crider

March 18th, 2012 Lynne.Leite

Alice Crider

“Today, my mission is to empower you to realize your publishing dreams and live a life that thrills you.” Alice Crider

One of the exciting new features of the 2012 OC Christian Writers Conference is the six pre-conference intensive workshops on Friday, May 18th.  This year, Alice Crider, successful Author Coach, returns to lead a workshop entitled, Your Infinite Publishing Potential.
This class is a must for you if…

  • You’ve done all you know to do to build your publishing career, but you aren’t where you want to be.
  • You’ve been developing your writing, but platform building seems daunting.
  • You’ve been writing but still don’t have an agent.
  • You wonder if self-publishing is right for you.
  • You wonder if the book you’re writing will land on the bestseller list.

In her all-day interactive coaching session, Ms. Crider answers these and many other questions. Her extensive and successful career in the publishing industry coupled with her life coaching skills make this workshop a must for any writer who wants to become not only a published author, but also a more joyful one.

Here’s what others have said:

“Alice Crider helped me strategically think through the daily aspects of my career so I could maximize my output and have a fuller, joyful writing experience. My time with her proved just how valuable an author coach can be, and I’m certainly enjoying my career more because of our time together.” —Mary DeMuth, author of twelve books

“I didn’t even refer to myself as an author when I first spoke with Alice. I was tethered to the past and bound by tomorrow’s fears. Using her uncanny ability to hear the things I struggled to say, her knowledge and experience in the field, and her patient and nurturing faith, Alice was the catalyst for monumental change in my life. Anyone can track how much her coaching has impacted me by the skyrocketing of my career, the tremendous improvement in my communication skills, and above all, the growth of my confidence.” —Kate Johnson, children’s author/illustrator

If you are ready to explore your vision and potential as a writer, then make sure you register for this all day interactive workshop.  Class size is limited to 10 students, so register early to secure your spot.
