• Description:

  First Topic – The Catholic Writers’ Guild

  The Catholic Writers' Guild, in conjunction with the Catholic Marketing Network, is hosting the Catholic Writers’ Conference LIVE! this week. Panel discussions/workshops and presentations include world building, generating query letters, crafting good stories, marketing finished works, honing speaking skills, and more. Catholic magazines, devotionals, novels and educational materials are incorporated as publishers/editors and authors cover various aspects of Catholic writing. We talk with Karina Fabian and Ann Lewis of the Guild.

  Second Topic – APA Dismisses Gay-to-Straight Therapy

That according to the American Psychological Association. Dr. Richard Cohen disagrees and says the evidence is on his side. He joins us.
