CONFRONTING CANCER WITH FAITH

Writing Conferences

Book signings are exciting. My first book signing was unique in that it was at a friend’s house. Brenda and the hostesses treated it as if it were a book shower with refreshments and a special showing. We had a blast. Other book signings may have been in conjunction with other authors or individually. Locations included such places as Barnes & Noble, hospital gift shops, a sports center, museums, libraries, exhibition booth businesses, and store openings. I am always open to another book signing. Can I come to your area?

Speaking engagements are variable. They can be for a cancer support group, medical group, church group, even seniors group! Everybody is impacted by cancer in some way or another so the diversity is not unexpected. I cater engagements to be for that particular event. Some events may include audience participation; others may include a component of music. I love to sing when the opportunity arises. I also play the piano on occasion. I pride myself in making the program interesting and stimulating.

Take a look at some of my speaking topics. A more comprehensive list may be seen on my http://ewerblessed.com website. Most of them pertain to cancer in some way, but I also enjoy highlighting my international mission trips or my musical aspects. Spiritual topics and devotions are some of my favorite. Consider me as your next speaker perhaps at a women’s event or church function.

Writing conferences have been and continue to be crucial in my ministry and writing career. I’ve learned so much and met so many good writers through the years. One of my favorite writing conferences is the Southern Christian Writers Conference that meets annually in Alabama. It blends two of my passions: Christianity and writing. I’ve been honored to have won numerous writing awards through the years at this conference for magazine articles, short stories, and newspaper articles. I tend to gravitate to local and regional conferences but I’ve been known to venture outside my home state to broaden my skills.

Speakers at writing conferences are excellent and oftentimes represent a specialty. I am enthralled with the diverse topics that writers need to familiarize themselves with. The genres alone present a delightful array of teaching sessions. Social media has its challenges, trends in the industry are constantly changing, and marketing techniques are of paramount importance. Of course, networking is a plus, too. Many of my friends are writers and editors that I have met at writing conferences.

Interviews

Podcast

I was thrilled to be invited to be a guest speaker on the cancer podcast Health, Hope & Inspiration sponsored by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Rev. Percy McCray conducted a recorded interview as he inquired about my experiences as well as my book. Listen to the podcast below, “Confronting Cancer with Faith.”

Quotes:

  • "God enters our pain with us. He comes from a place of compassion, not   just sympathy."
  • "Support...helps to push you through and to inspire you."
  • "In many cases, we try to avoid pain and we try to run from it, but from a  spiritual perspective, there are things to be gleaned, learned, and  appreciated from pain, and there's a purpose to it."
