April 15 really is an important date, and not just to file our taxes or, reminder to self, to request an extension. (Waiting until the last minute makes life so much more exciting!)

April 15 is also the last day to register for the May 15-18 Colorado Christian Writers Conference before the price increases. It’s not a huge increase, but it is enough to purchase a writing how-to book from the huge selection that will be available at the conference. (If you’ve already registered, just pass this email on to a friend since I’m not able to separate out names that are on multiple lists.)
April 15 was the last day to register for the May 18 Teens Write before that price increases by $10. I have, however, extended the early price through April 30 because I’m still working on getting the info to homeschool groups.

The deadline for our first-ever Teens Write writing contest was also April 15 but has been extended to April 30. If Jesus tarries and we continue to have the freedom to print and distribute Christian literature, teens will be the future of Christian publishing. Ask Father if there is a teen He wants you to encourage to come. Seehttp://colorado.writehisanswer.com/TeensWrite for info.
Clinic applications are also due April 15 (oops, April 16). I need to keep that date for Cindy Lambert’s Nonfiction Book Proposal Clinic, but I’ve extended the date for our other three clinics to April 20.
IMPORTANT: If you’re writing a novel, I want to encourage you to take a close look at Dave Lambert’s Fiction Intensive. If you’ve not read my blog post, “God can use you to write fiction that changes lives,” please do.
If you’ve published or are working on a nonfiction book, you will need a strong platform which includes speaking. Please read my blog post “Writer, you CAN overcome your fear of public speaking!” Roy anschke’s Speakers’ Clinic is an option you need to seriously consider.
Scoti Domeij’s Build a Book Promotional Power Pack Clinic will provide hands-on help with the more than two-dozen marketing pieces you need to successfully launch your book, and Scoti will show you how to do this while you’re still writing your book.
You’ll find more info about all the clinics along with the needed applications athttp://colorado.writehisanswer.com/clinics2019.
If you need financial help to be able to come, it’s not too late to request a partial scholarship and/or time payments. Go tohttp://colorado.writehisanswer.com/scholarships. God can make a way when there seems to be no way. Trust Him!
Please be praying for the faculty and staff as we prepare for what I know will be a life-changing conference.
