SELF PUBLISHING CONFERENCE

​This conference is not about being a writer or even having the right words to tell your story.

God has already given you the words to write and publish your story. The only thing left is for you to step out in faith, grab that pen or pull out your laptop and begin to SHARE your story with the audiences that God has waiting for you.

When I was a little girl I used to keep a daily journal. I did not have many friends that I trusted to keep my secrets or really talk to about what was going through my life. I became really inspired to address my daily journal entries to myself or God after reading a copy of the book "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" that I borrowed from a friend. Through the years, I grew to love the relief and peace that came from flooding empty pages with my words.

​My journals would become my most treasured and protected possessions. I tucked each of them away...in the dark...away from any prying eyes who may read their contents, know my secrets, reveal my shames and use my words against me. It never crossed my mind that my words could bring life. It never crossed my mind that my words were seeds planted in a book that would one day bloom and burst into life.

I am now a two time self published author with many more books to write! My books, Conversations With My Son: Fun & Witty Inspiration for Mothers Raising Boys and Love Behind the Blue Line: Stories of Love, Courage, Hope & Legacy have opened doors and presented opportunities for me that I could only dream about. My books have allowed me to inspire mothers and wives of law enforcement officers in the US and abroad.

"The tiny seed knew that in order to grow, it needed to be dropped in the dirt, covered in darkness, and struggle to reach the light." (Sandra Kring)

Why should you attend this conference?

It's time to TELL and PUBLISH your story.  Telling your story enables you to speak words of life directly into the heart of the hearer. Telling your story also brings deliverance and victory over anything that holds you captive. Telling your story is liberating! 

​...and that's not all...

You DO NOT have to spend your life savings to get your book published! Isn't that exciting news??!!!

WRITING your story opens up a your heart to express yourself to the world in a way that may be limited by speech.  Writing your story allows your story to reach hearts in places that your voice may not reach. There is power in memorializing words in writing.

It is important that you learn ways to PROTECT the words that you speak or write.
