If you’re not in the market for attending a writers’ conference, a practical alternative is an online workshop. Several writers’ organizations – both Christian and secular – offer wonderful workshops that last anywhere from 4-10 weeks and that cost very little compared to the traditional writers’ conference.
Here are a few places you could check out to get you started:
