The Southern Christian Writers Conference (in partnership with TAB Media Group) provides inspiration and instruction for aspiring and published writers of faith. The SCWC has brought writers together since 1991 at its annual workshop and other writing events, and is recognized as one of the best conferences in the nation.
We recently held our annual SCWC workshop on June 4-5, 2021. The conference was e a "hybrid" event, with limited in-person attendance and Covid protocols AND a simultaneous virtual conference.
We'd like to thank you for your attendance at the 2021 conference. We feel like it was our best ever!
Stay tuned as we unveil plans for upcoming events and activities throughout the upcoming year.
