Local Author to Give Writers Workshop
Author Peter DeHaan will be speaking at the upcoming Breathe Christian Writers Conference taking place on October 12 and 13 in Dutton Michigan, just a couple miles from the Grand Rapids airport (the Gerald R. Ford International Airport).
“I’ve attended the Breathe Christian Writers Conference for the past two years and am excited to be one of this year’s workshop presenters,” stated Peter DeHaan.
“It’s a first-class operation and a tremendous value for writers at all levels. I am honored to be part of this year’s conference.”
The title of Peter’s workshop is “Writing 101: Getting Started in Your Writing Career.” It’s designed for new writers, those considering writing as a career, and those who want to breathe new life into their work.
“I’ve been writing for thirty years—and a writer for three,” DeHaan recently quipped. This is not a dichotomy, but an acknowledgment that Peter has years of experience to share but can do so through the eyes of a relative newbie, who only recently considered writing as his career.
Peter DeHaan, a published author since 1983 and a magazine publisher and editor since 2001, will share his insights and offer advice to help attendees get started in the exciting world of writing when he speaks at the Breathe Conference.
Topics include: the myths and misconceptions of being a writer, how to get started—and succeed, avoiding rookie mistakes, tools of the trade, and honing your craft. If you are new to the world of writing or need a primer to get started, this is the ideal session for you.
The keynote for this year’s two-day conference is publisher, speaker, and author Terry Whalin whose sessions will cover “Never, Never, Never Give Up” and “Keep Growing, Keep Learning.”
In addition to other general sessions, there will be an array of workshops, plenty of networking opportunities, and time for informal social interaction.
