A Course for Award-Winning Writers


​

​

This weekend, four of Marcia Laycock's students won awards in the Devotional category of the InScribe Fall Contest. Three of them were her students in the March cohort of the Devotionals course--Betty, Linda, and Pat.

Tomorrow is Marcia's free workshop: An Introduction to Devotionals of Distinction. If you're available, we'd love to have you join us. If you're not, you can still catch the replay.

Hope to see you there!
