A few months ago, I wrote a couple of posts on writing a book proposal and several of you mentioned you are on your own book writing journey. If you are interested in learning more about the publishing process, how to write a book or book proposal, how to pitch to an editor, how to write a magazine article or ways to promote the books you’ve already published, then perhaps you would be interested in attending She Speaks this summer.
Maybe you already have a book proposal and would like to meet with an editor or agent. Representatives from Zondervan, Revell Books, Harvest House, Randall House and others will be there to accept appointments. Or if writing isn’t your thing, maybe you lead a women’s ministry at your church or you believe perhaps you have been called to teach or to speak. This conference could be the perfect place to come to hear out loud what the Lord has already been whispering to your heart. It would especially be worth it if you could come for free.
All you have to do is write a post on your blog about why you would like to attend She Speaks. (If you don’t have a blog, you can enter over email). Then on Monday, Lysa will be hosting a linky for you to link up to the post you’ve written. I wanted to get this out over the weekend so you would have a chance to work on your post in time for Monday. I hope you win! And I hope to meet you at She Speaks.
Thanks for helping to get the word out Emily.
If I was organized I would have thought to call you and ask you to do this. But alas… I am now 40 and forced to think of other things like coloring my grey hairs.
But you my friend… you are still a young thing and so very able to think of stuff.
Thank you! Smiles.
Emily,
Anyway, I’ve read your blog for years and know that you have attended before and thought you could give me a little insight. Thanks
I’m interested in attending She Speaks {very nervous too} but wanted to see if you thought this would be something I would benefit from.
I’ve only spoken in front of 10 ladies at a time when facilitating a bible study…..made me sick to the stomach, and break out in hives! My goal is not to speak to hundreds of women but get up the courage to move out of my comfort zone, which I feel like God has been trying to get me to do for the past two years {and to be honest I really don’t want to}and often times use not having the tools or training as an excuse…beside being completely scared to death to stand up in front of a group
Michelle. To you, I will say this: it sounds as if you already know the answer to this question. If you already feel God encouraging you to step out from beneath that zone of comfort in this area, then I do think She Speaks could benefit you. There are great workshops offered from a variety of perspectives on speaking, from beginner to seasoned. But more than that, there is a great heart behind it all. I think you have nothing to lose to at least apply for the scholarship. what could be better than going for free?!
I’ve heard wonderful things about She Speaks, Emily!
thanks so much for the heads up.
i’ve already registered but could really use a scholarship. my husband is retired & we’re on a fixed income, so i was really stepping out in faith, when i decided to go.
my post is up & ready to link to lysa’s tomorrow.
thanks, again -
It looks amazing. It’s something I would LOVE to go. Thank you for posting about. I would have had no idea about it until it was already over (like blissdom!)
My post is also up, and waiting for the linky!
Thanks!
Emily. Thank you so much for this post. I read you diligently but don’t always comment – I’m sorry for that. However, I am ever grateful for this post – I have had my eye on “She Speaks” for two years now. I just finished my post and I’m hoping the time is now. Thank you again so much!
Thanks for letting us know! Yikes, I better get writing.
