Pre-Conference Session
Pre-Conference Opportunity — Deep Dive Manuscript Review ($100)
Hey there, Speak UP attendees. I’m Shellie Arnold, an author, speaker, editor, and book doctor. I’ve written, critiqued, and edited fiction and nonfiction projects, including the memoir Five Tickets to Kansas, which won the Selah in 2023. I love helping new and experienced writers with their writing projects as they pursue God’s calling on their lives.
As conference attendees, you have a unique opportunity to work with me before the conference if you’d like to:
- Polish a book proposal to insure it’s complete
- Refine your pitch so it’s clear, concise, and accurate to your message
- Critique your work in progress to determine if you’re really saying what you want to say
- Nail down your brand, focus, or heart message
- Seek input to discover your strengths and weaknesses, and receive direction on how to capitalize on your strengths
- Brainstorm about ways to expand your audience without sacrificing your niche or core message
- Fine tune your title, subtitle, and back cover blurb
- Begin any of the above—even if you don’t know how and you’re kind of freaked out about it
Basically, we can talk about whatever you need to talk about. This is a pre-conference option available to the first twenty who sign up, and there is an associated fee.
I look forward to working with you!

Breakout Session
Discover Your Ministry Identity
Are you called to be a speaker who writes or a writer who speaks? Are you called to be both? Knowing your ministry identity is critical for beginners to start their careers on the right track. It’s also the key to rebooting or streamlining your ministry. And lacking this knowledge might be why you’re working hard but have little to show for your efforts. Save yourself years of headache, discouragement, and wasted energy. Join Shellie Arnold to learn how to: 1) determine your ministry identity, 2) equip yourself for your calling, and 3) plan the best path to pursue your calling.
