Carla Willilams and Cec Murphey
The Florida Christian Writers’ Conference last week was the first of a long line of conferences WinePress will attend this year.
This conference is always a great one to start our season. The southern hospitality of Director Billie Wilson always makes us feel like family.
Cec Murphey was the keynoter and he challenged us all to be more transparent in our lives and writing. We met a lot of new authors with strong writing skills. We look foward to attending again next year.
Dalene Parker, Tyler Kirby, and Carla Williams
WinePress sponsored the Writer of the Year Award at the Florida Christian Writers Conference. This year the winner was a young man, with a lot of potential, Tyler Kirby, age seventeen.
His short story, “As the Rain Falls” is scheduled for publication by Lee Emory, of Treble Heart Books. Tyler has previously been published in ENCOUNTER–the Magazine.
As a senior at Broome High School in Spartanburg, SC, Tyler holds many leadership positions. He is student body president, plays trumpet in the high school band and participated in the prestigious Palmetto Boys’ State Event in the summer of 2009.
After graduation, Tyler plans to attend Wofford College and major in English. His teacher and mentor and long time attendee of the conference, Dalene Parker, sponsored and encouraged Tyler in attending the conference.
