Faculty Application
Opportunities to Serve on Our June 17-20, 2026 Faculty
This is our 7th Christian writers conference going virtual. We’re able to offer everything (and more) that our previous in-person 24 Colorado and 36 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conferences provided and at a much lower price. Everything is live and amazingly interactive.
Because we’re virtual, conferees save the cost of travel and lodging. As a result, last year our conferees came from 35 states and 8 nations!
Being virtual is also a great advantage for our faculty. There’s no need to be away from your home and office for four days plus time lost in travel. (Think of the hours you’ve spent in airports or traffic jams!) And you don’t need to commit to being with us all three and a half days. I’m serious when I say we are glad to have you even if you can only be with us several hours. In addition, because there is always more to learn, we hope you will attend sessions that interest you. There is, of course, no charge for faculty.
Except for appointments, round tables, critique groups, interest groups, and small group breakouts the conference will be videotaped. Conferees have the option to add the replays to their registration fee for only $59. They will be available from early August through December 31, 2026. You are welcome to view all the videos free of charge. Your video(s) will include a copyright notice in your name, and you can request a MP4 to use however you want.
Please prayerfully consider applying to serve on our faculty. The sooner you apply, the more choices you give me, and the completeness of your application (including your bio and photo), the more likely I’ll be able to include you.
