Breakout Session
Risking to Write the Book
Writers can shrink back when a publisher says a book isn’t quite right or they don’t have enough platform. You can get discouraged and not risk writing the book. But Proverbs 11:14 (MSG) tells us that “Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.” From an agent’s perspective, I’ll share how to balance listening to counsel from the publishing community and from God as you rise up in three areas: your words (sacred writing time and season), your wisdom (invitation from God to create), and your spiritual well-being (writing advances you closer to God not apart from Him). This workshop is spiritual encouragement and practical steps to affirm that your writing reflects what a hungry world needs to hear from a faith-based perspective. We will also look at topics that have been overdone and how to write from a place of fresh ideas.
15-Minute Appointments
Blythe is available to meet with published and unpublished writers who want feedback on a book idea or want to ask questions about the publishing process and their trajectory as a writer. Attendees may also ask what she is looking for and how agents work with authors and publishers.
