SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCE

 
 

The SCWC is the best writing conference in the nation.” — Nationally known book publisher and speaker



The purpose of the Southern Christian Writers Conference is to inform and inspire. It holds a workshop in June each year, one of the largest in the nation, with leading Christian writers, editors, and publishers as speakers.


Many people — both speakers and attendees — have called it one of the top writing workshops in America.


Despite its high quality, the cost of attending the workshop is less than half that of most other workshops.

From a participant: “It was another amazing year, and I am already antici-pating next year. I can't believe how much I learned over a short weekend. Many of my questions were answered, even ones I didn't know to ask. Even greater, the Holy Spirit's presence was incredible.  The SCWC shines of His handiwork.”

The SCWC sponsors the Breeze Hill Writing Retreat. Click here for information about the retreat.


We are grateful for the many comments we received from the participants at last year’s workshop. Here are some of them:

Thank you for all of the prayer, planning, and hard work. I really appreciate the quality of experience, education, and Christian walk of those involved. What a blessing to have so much valuable information presented with Biblical principles as well as the Word. May God bless you richly for so willingly serving us with such love and diligence. My heart and life have been richly touched.


What a blessing to meet you and experience the SCWC! You had every “jot and tittle” covered, and we had such a great time with the conferees and other presenters. I can't imagine how tired you are today, but it was worth it. Thanks also to your great staff.


This is an absolutely wonderful conference. I don’t see how you can do it with such a low registration price.


I loved this experience! I am so inspired now to write and write some more! I wish I could have attended more sessions because I enjoyed them so much! I just can’t wait for next year’s conference. I feel truly blessed to have been touched by everyone involved in putting it on and everyone who attended. Thank you!


Amazing!


I was so blessed by the speakers and the wonderful new friends I made. I cannot imagine a better or more inspiring way to get started in writing.


Just wanted to tell you all what a wonderful job you did with the conference! It was obviously so well planned, and all the speakers were so interesting.


This has to be the best organized writers conference in the U.S. Your team has thought of everything.


As I look forward to the conference, I’m as excited as a child at Christmas. I've heard such complimentary and admirable things about it.


This is my first writers’ conference but will not be my last. This has been such a blessing. I go away so inspired, so encouraged, and so informed. Thank you for everything!


This was great! Thank you!


Very good conference. Very well organized. Great facility. Wonderful faculty.


Loved it! I was equally blessed by both speakers and attendees.


As always, the conference was wonderful! We love y’all!


Thank you so much! I learned a lot and enjoyed both days.


Thank you for all your hard work, inspiring presentations, and impressive expertise in leading the SCWC. It was awesome! I’m hungry for more! Everyone I talked with said they lacked nothing. It’s the first time ever I’ve seen a hospitality room for the entire attendees group, since most conferences reserve that for staff/faculty only. Attendees appreciated your kind hospitality, a cool drink, and the full staff of helpers/shepherds/greeters! — not to mention the speakers, who all seemed to be great experts in their fields. The ones I heard were informative and inspiring presenters.


Great workshop! Great seminars!


This was my first writers conference. It was amazing! I learned so much. I heard God’s voice! He said, “Write”!


This was my first conference. I loved it! I will be back.


This is my very first conference. Thank you so much for the motivation, spiritual growth, and knowledge that I received through the classes and speeches. May God bless you! Thanks!


Great as usual. Thank you all for your hard work and persistence. We love you!


Best workshop ever! Great speakers!


I was a first-year attendee, and I have been so blessed!


There were so many awesome sessions! I hated to have to choose.


Great conference — Very inspiring and encouraging.


Thank you for a warm, friendly, informative introduction to writers’ conferences!!


It was a great workshop!


Absolutely Great Conference, thanks to the Sloan Family and all the guest speakers.



There are not enough words to express my gratitude for your kindness and support during the SCWC. You are truly servants of God to all who attend your conference. I had such a great time, and everyone was so wonderful. I am still walking on air! Thank you for everything, and may God richly bless you for all you do for others.


You did it again! I know the SCWC is the best writing workshop in the U.S. Not only do people learn how to write and publish, but we make new friends and get to visit with old ones.


Thank for you a wonderful introduction to writers conferences! The SCWC was my first conference, and I was encouraged, challenged and taught by kind, accessible instructors. Your obedience to the Lord and diligence to the task are inspiring, and I was blessed to be in your presence and at your conference.


The conference was such a blessing to me. I have found much needed direction for my writing mission. God bless you!


If it were any better, I couldn’t stand it! Many thanks!


It’s a wonderful conference — very informative. I look forward to coming every year. There is always such encouragement and helpfulness from the other participants and speakers. You all do such a good job — well oiled and efficiently run.


Thank you! What a blessing!


This is my first conference. I’ve been very blessed. Thank you for all your hard work.


This has been the best conference I have ever attended, even better than [a famous national] writer’s conference.


Your conference is excellent.


It was great. Everything was wonderful. Thank you for taking time to make this happen.


What a wonderful atmosphere! Tons of encouragement! Thank you!


Thoroughly worthwhile. Spiritual and practical.


Everything was balanced perfectly. This was my first SCWC, and I’m looking forward to many more. Please continue them! Blessings!!

Thanks for such an amazing time!


All I can say is ... WOW! This was my first conference, and it was an awesome experience. Thank you all, and God bless you. Looking forward to next year.


Thanks for this writer’s conference. As always, superb!


This conference is so much more than instruction. It speaks to the hearts and spirits of all who attend.


I loved it! It was very encouraging and uplifting!


Wonderful! Wonderful! Best organized conference I’ve ever attended.


The conference is consistently wonderful! Thank you!


My first time attending: Friendly, competent staff, excellent facilities, awesome experience! Inspiring, informative presenters, and motivational.


This is the best organized and most hospitable conference in the country. Thank you for all your hard work.


This was excellent, and I hope to attend more of the same. At 81, I need some help if I start writing!


What a blessing we received at the SCWC this year! Always encouraging and inspiring, but my favorite part of the conference is meeting all the warm and wonderful people. Bringing all those great folks together under one roof has to be a God thing! Thanks to all who help make it happen!


I loved every minute.


The conference was wonderful; so nice to meet my extended writers family!


Thanks so much for the conference. It encouraged and challenged me more than you will ever know. God Bless!
