Mount Hermon Cares!

Mount Hermon Cares!

I have never felt more cared for at any conference than I did at my first Mount Hermon writers conference.  Personally cared for – as a valued member of an extended family.   Everyone there – staff, instructors, volunteers and fellow conferees both alumni and newcomers – made me feel welcome, comfortable, safe and included.  That feeling is unique, in my experience, among the conferences and events I have attended in my working life.

On the first day, at each initial contact with staff members and volunteers, I heard, “Oh yes, I recognize your name.”   After that, they knew me and greeted me by name.  Conferees were eager to meet each other and once they knew I was a first-timer, I had no shortage of new friends.  I quickly felt that I had found my ‘tribe.’

Perhaps those feelings stem from the generosity of all involved.  I continue to marvel at and be humbled by the sheer magnitude of time and personal attention given to each writer, whether best-selling veteran or struggling novice, by the publishing professionals who teach or advise.

Oh, and did I mention the food is great?
