THE ENGAGING PLOTS SUMMIT

Plotting is more than convoluted outlines.

Learn how to unlock the imagination God gave you.

Virtual Summit Dates: April 22-24

Registration Opens: March 2nd

Time to Reset Your Approach to Plotting

Too many writers make these mistakes:

They struggle to finish a novel because they don’t know where to take their ideas.

They settle for shiny gimmicks instead of developing truly original concepts.

They waste time crafting elaborate outlines that don’t actually help their stories.

When writers learn to use their imaginations the same way that God exercised His creativity, we believe they’ll finally thrill readers with gripping storytelling.

That’s why we’re gathering 10+ expert Christian authors, editors, and coaches to teach you how to nail your novel’s plot.

“We resolve to fearlessly embrace and wisely exercise imagination as a gift from God, trusting Him to use it, not by limiting our creativity but by benevolently directing it.”

Meaningful Faith Connections

The Bible may not seem to say as much about plot as it does about characters and themes. But we’re going to show you how many principles you can glean from the model of Scripture.
