February 21: MECAC Writers' Workshop

On Saturday, February 21, MECAC hosted our first Writers' Workshop at the Pine Valley Bible Conference Center. Twenty-three writers from our local area and "down the hill" attended a remarkable workshop with Dean Nelson, the founder of the Journalism department at Point Loma Nazarene University. Dean is the author/co-author of thirteen books and a longtime freelance writer for the New York Times. The all-day event was an incredible opportunity for writers to hone their craft and learn more about what makes writing truly work.

We thank Dean for coming all the way from Poway to lead this workshop and MECAC Director Judith Dupree for talking him into making the long trek and working with us. You may read about the workshop in more detail at the MECAC Writers' Workshop blog: MECAC Writers' Workshop with Dean Nelson.
