Our Mission
The Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Fellowship
exists to help you respond to God's call to write. We want to come alongside to encourage and equip you to get your work in print. We are a Christ-centered fellowship with a strong emphasis
on prayer and Bible study, but also on learning the craft of writing and marketing. We want to help you become an effective communicator of God's truth in both Christian and secular markets.
Together we really can make a difference!
Our History
Marlene Bagnull
founded GPCWF in
1983 with a small group of Christian writers drawn by announcements they
read in the newspaper. Since then we have met monthly (except in the
summer) and sponsored four day-long seminars, six two-day
conferences, and eight three-day conferences. I've often said that if I knew
what God had planned I would have told Him, "I'm not
qualified," and run the other way. But I'm so grateful I didn't. He
really is able to do "exceedingly, abundantly beyond" (Eph. 3:20).
CWF meets monthly on a Thursday
morning from 9:30 to 12:30 at Springton Lake Presbyterian Church
(www.slpca.org). 3090 South Newtown
Street Road, Newtown Square 19073. (For door-to-door directions go to
www.mapquest.com.) The church is at the intersection of Route 252 &
Media Line Road, on the left just past the Springton Lake Reservoir and
Delaware County Community College (if you're going north on 252).

Writing Stories that Change Lives - Marlene Bagnull
Stories, whether fiction or nonfiction, have the power to change lives.
We'll look at seven essentials and pitfalls, ask some important questions,
and hopefully end up with an outline (of sorts) for a saleable short
story.
