FLORIDA CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCE

February 25 - March 1, 2015 Hello Writers and Future Writers!   We could not be more excited about our upcoming conference and even more so about our keynoters.    Thursday Night/Movie Night On Thursday evening, enjoy words of wisdom from Hollywood veteran Brian Bird. Brian is known for such works as Touched by an Angel, Step by Step, The Shunning, Saving Sarah Cain and (as one of the writers of) the upcoming The Captive, the true story of Ashley Smith who was held captive in her Atlanta apartment by Brian Nichols, an escaped rapist.    And, even more exciting ... we will have a private showing of the film on Thursday after Brian's keynote address.    Throughout the conference, Brian will also lead a continuing class, From Screenplay to Hollywood, given in four sessions that will cover:   Part 1: How to Make the Audience Fall in Love:  It’s all about Act One Part 2: Which Comes First - Plot or Character?  YES! Part 3: The Hero’s Journey: The Id, the Archetypes and the Mythic Orchestra  Part 4: Adaptation: How to survive the adaptation process when you or someone else is turning your book into a movie   If this is something you think you'll benefit from, then we encourage you to sign up for FCWC 2015 at: www.FloridaCWC.net.   Don't Forget the Scholarships   We have two full scholarships this year.
