PENCON Partnered with SoCal in 2020

PENCON was virtual this year and offered same-time interaction between faculty and attendees. We joined SoCal in a welcome reception on July 8 and worship and general sessions July 9-10.

Faculty & Workshops

As the only annual conference for Christian editors, our faculty works hard to ensure every session speaks to our attendees’ specific needs. Whether you are an aspiring editor or a seasoned editor, you’ll find workshops on the schedule that address relevant issues: time management to pricing of services, editing children’s books to editing theological works.

Networking without Travel Expenses

Our virtual conference offers opportunities to interact with faculty during workshops and one-on-one appointments. You will also be able to meet and converse with other attendees in our Zoom fellowship hours.

“The 2020 PENCON may not have been traditional, but it was a joy to attend. I took away lots of nuggets to use in my editing business, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s conference.”

“Virtual PENCON was extremely well organized and facilitated, making for a smooth and pleasant attendee experience. The presenters were knowledgeable and engaging, and even as an experienced editor, I learned a lot. I appreciated the interspersing of prayer throughout the conference and how some editors see their editing work as a calling and even as worship. It was powerful to be among a group that shares not only a profession but also Christian faith.”

“In spite of being forced online, PENCON did not disappoint! Every presentation brought fresh wind to my sails and excitement about applying what I learned. I’ll go back and watch the recordings of the ones I missed. The conference staff handled the technology like champs. Thank you for providing this opportunity.”
