Local Offline EventsIf you are a local Christian writer and have an event that would be of interest to Christian writers, members of LCW, or a safe place for Christians interested in creative ministries, please let us know so we can show your event here. These events might include book signings, conferences, poetry slams, open mic events, or performances of or by local Christian authors. When appropriate, please provide links to information such as the venue website, directions, fan page, discussion forum, etc. NOTE: For the most comprehensive list of local events and resources about writing, you can always check the current edition of the Kentucky Literary Newsletter. They are mostly secular events, but this newsletter is a valuable resource for every Kentucky writer. Note: Some links are broken, but I have not yet had them link to anything dangerous or inappropriate. Never-the-less, please be careful anytime you access Internet links, because there are those who find defunct sites and use them to redirect visitors to places they would not normally access by choice.
Friday, June 24th - Saturday, June 25th, 2011 = The 15th annual Kentucky Christian Writer's Conference with keynotes by Cecil "Cec" Murphey in Elizabethtown, KY. See site for complete details and links to their Facebook fan site and blog. Friday, July 22nd - Sunday, July 24th, 2011 = Local authors join publisher, Dave Mattingly and Blackwyrm Publishing, at Fandomfest. A list of authors and a link to the Fandomfest site can be found in the July events from the events page in the main menu. - Tuesday, November 1st - Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 = National Novel Writing Month with at least 3 local "write-ins" every week. We will update this page to include the locations and times when the calendar comes out, or you can visit the NaNoWriMo Louisville forums for more information as November draws near.
