The 2009 ACFW Conference Invites You to Partner With Us as a Sponsor.
Since its inception in 2000, American Christian Fiction Writers has promoted Christian fiction and assisted new writers and Conference Workshop published authors on their writing journeys. ACFW is now at 1700 members and growing.
Every September, our popular national conference hosts publishers and more than 500 authors and writers who are also voracious readers and purchasers of fiction. ACFW has become a key player and driving force in the marketing of Christian fiction.
In September 2009, publishers, writers and readers of Christian fiction will gather in Denver, Colorado at the ACFW Annual Conference to learn and grow in the craft of writing, hear what's happening in the world of publishing, meet with acquisition editors and meet with literary agents. One of the highlights of our conference is the on-site bookstore where many of the latest novels from CBA publishers are sold.
Highlights of the 2009 conference will include:
Keynote Speaker
Debbie Macomber
Early Bird Session Presenter
Donald Maass
presenting his Breakout Novel Workshop
The increasingly prestigious awards banquet . . .
. . .where winners of the Genesis writing contest for unpublished writers and the ACFW Book of the Year Award for published works, as well as Editor of the Year, Agent of the year, and Mentor of the Year are announced.
