Nancy Christie:: Writer/Author/Speaker

Be a scribe! Your body will be sleek, your hand will be soft.... You are one who sits grandly in your house; your servants answer speedily; beer is poured copiously; all who see you rejoice in good cheer. Happy is the heart of him who writes; he is young each day.

—Ptahotpe, c. 2350 B.C.

Attending a writing conference will not only educate you about the craft and business of writing, but also give you a chance to socialize with others who write for love or money—or both!
