FBC Tuscaloosa to host writers workshop

It was another amazing year, and I am already anticipating next year,” a participant in the annual Southern Christian Writers Conference (SCWC) said of the 2011 workshop.  

And next year’s SCWC is here and just around the corner — set for June 8–9 at First Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa.

The event will feature Gilbert Morris, a novelist of more than 300 books, and Lurlene McDaniel, a successful author for teens. 

Several instructional sessions will cover topics such as investing in your writing, writing young adult novels, the writer and the law, working with a Christian book publisher, screenwriting and several others. 

The SCWC also judges a writing contest. This year’s deadline is May 14 for the following categories: nonfiction magazine article, newspaper article, short story (fiction), poetry or letter to the editor. 

Send entries to SCWC Writing Contest, P.O. Box 1106, Northport, Ala. 35476.
