Michelle will be speaking at 2:00 P.M.

From Rejection to Publication. (Workshop)
After being in this business for more than 18 years, Michelle has enough rejection letters to wallpaper most of her home. But, that's all a part of the process. In this session, she encourages writers to keep on keeping on by helping them "read between the lines" of their rejection letters; use the letters to their advantage; and finally, turn that rejection slip into a contract.

Making It as a Magazine Writer. (Workshop)
When the well runs dry, how can writers generate articles that will sell? How can they tap into new markets? How can they re-market what they've already written? Those are just some of the questions she addresses in this practical session.

Children's Writing 101. (Workshop)
As the author of 28 children's books that are already in bookstores and several more that will be released next year, Michelle shares some tips that have taken her out of the slush pile and into the editors' hands.

If This Is What Being a Writer Is, I'd Rather Have Chocolate! (Workshop)
If you're feeling discouraged and confused, wondering if God can ever use your writing skills for Him, join Michelle Medlock Adams for this session. The life of a writer isn't always an easy one, but it is definitely worth it! If you need to be reminded that God uses imperfect people (even writers with lots of rejection slips and no best-selling books), join her for this inspirational session. This session is guaranteed to put the pep back in your step! (And, she will have chocolate for all who attend!)

10 Tips to Double Your Freelance Income. (Workshop)
When Michelle quit her 9-to-5 magazine writing job in 2000 and entered the world of full-time freelance writing, she learned (through trial and error) how to earn consistent cash.
