Our conference is built on a solid foundation of experience.

Beverly G. Browning wants to tell you she’s a well-known ghostwriter, but in point of fact, a “well known ghostwriter” is an oxymoron. Just trust us. Those who need to know, know her well. She’s been writing and editing professionally for more than twenty years with more than 100 books notched in her belt. In addition to ghosting and editing, she also has a freelance practice with clients that range from the United States Olympic Committee to Hebraic scholars. She and her authors have titles with Random House, Rodale, Crown, Tall Oak Press, Bridge-Logos Publishers, and Zondervan, among other publishers of books and journals. Although Bev doesn’t yet have a Pulitzer Prize on her mantel, she is one of the only authors in the world to have successfully negotiated a pony into a contract in lieu of full fee.
