Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference – Canceled
April 3, 2020 - April 7, 2020
Conference canceled – Our plan is to move as much as possible from this year’s conference to next year—faculty, mentoring clinics, morning tracks, workshops, keynoters, the works. We’ll be updating the website if any changes are made. We are sending this year’s registrants an email with details on how to request a full refund or apply payments for the 2020 conference to the 2021 conference. If you registered for this year and did not get that email, please contact us at info [at] mounthermon [dot] org or call 831-335-4466.
