2026 C.S. Lewis Writer’s Conference

Join us for the 2026 C.S. Lewis Writer’s Conference from May 28-30, 2026!

Once again it is the privilege of C.S. Lewis Foundation and Cultivating Oaks Press to host our extraordinary gathering for those who shepherd words in the magnificent castle of Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs.

This conference offers a unique perspective among the great constellation of writer’s conferences: we do not address how to build a “platform” or how to get published. We address the why before the how of writing. We attend to the soul-craft of word shepherds.

Our speakers and workshop leaders are each seasoned word shepherds themselves – writers, editors, and publishers – both personally and professionally familiar with the challenges of a writer’s life, particularly as a follower of Christ. They share a wealth of real life field experience with us as fellow word shepherds.

This event bears quintessential marks of both the C.S. Lewis Foundation and Cultivating Oaks Press: superb teaching, nurtured relationships, rich hospitality, time to pray and to ponder, and opportunity to connect with fellow writers presented in the setting of grand beauty.

Whatever stage of life you may find yourself in as a word shepherd, just beginning, seasoned veteran, or somewhere in between finding your way forward, come join us and be renewed in the company of your kindred. This conference is made for you.
