Kathleen Gibson A veteran speaker, writer, and newspaper columnist, Kathleen
Gibsons words have appeared in numerous publications and media outlets
globally, including Readers Digest and CBC Radio. Having avoided book writing
for as long as possible, she jokes that God dumped her inside one: Her recent
book, West Nile Diary
(publication date March-09, Bastian Books)
chronicles her clergyman husband Ricks (ongoing) battle with West Nile
neurological disease, and their subsequent journey through loss and healing. Kathleen is presenting the Keynote and Plenary at our Conference, as well as one workshop. Secrets to Effective
Personal Writing Oh me, oh my! May I really use "I"? It's the pronoun most
college-trained students learned not to use. But personal writing is a powerful
means of both discovering and revealing life-changing truth. You'll learn a
personal writer's most valuable resources, what every personal essay must
include and three things your writing must prove to editors. |

Bonnie Grove Bonnie went from zero to published in God's perfect timing. He opened the doors for her first book, Your Best You: Discovering and Developing the Strengths God Gave You, to be published. While she was jumping for joy, her first novel, Talking to the Dead, turned the heads of no less than seven publishing houses. Through her talented agent, Bonnie signed a two-book contract, with more books on the way. As a speaker, her only goal is to show you how to grab hold of the dreams God gave you and turn them into joyous reality. And have a ball doing it. Bonnie is Doing two workshops and the closing session at our Conference. Fiction: Show and Tell It's more than just long descriptions! Learn the craft of showing vs. telling within the arc of your novel, as well as it pertains to themes/messages/intentions of your novel. Fiction: Say What You Mean This workshop will focus on vocabulary, word choice, metaphor, and meaning how to way what you mean without stating the obvious.
