CEDAR FALLS CHRISTIAN WRITERS WORKSHOP

At the current time, we are planning for an in-person workshop at the beautiful Riverview Conference Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Our coronavirus adaptations and solutions:

We know that part of what draws people to our writers workshop, besides our qualified content each year, are the connections made and sense of community that is built. (We have also been told our food is pretty good!)

Last year, for the first time in our 18-year history, we were faced with the tough but necessary choice to move the workshop online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We've survived floods and tornado threats, but this was one disaster we just couldn't tempt. We had a successful turnout on Zoom and a great time, exploring a variety of ways to stay engaged and make connections in a different kind of face-to-face environment.

This year, we are hoping and praying that we can meet in person, taking mitigation precautions, but are aware that things can turn unexpectedly with this virus and vaccinations. At this time, we have Riverview Fellowship Hall reserved and are working toward our planning to meet there. By April 15, we will make a final decision
whether or not it seems that will work. In the meantime, registration will open March 1 and we will have a deposit that is equal to the tuition if we hold it online. If we hold it in person, you will simply pay the rest of the in-person tuition. If we need to hold it online, you're completely paid. Please know our first priority is to keep everyone safe and well,

Whether you have a desire to explore writing, return to writing, improve your writing or learn how to get published, the Cedar Falls Christian Writers Workshop has something to offer everyone who attends. Whether you're a published writer or not, this unique opportunity improves your focus on your writing goals and commitment, strengthens your knowledge and skills, connects you with great resources and other Christian writers and nourishes your spirit. You will arrive excited and leave moved, motivated, and making steps forward. Come for a retreat and leave refreshed!
