Virtual Gathering Places

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. – Proverbs 16:24 

Come one, come all to the Rendezvous Community Facebook group! This group is a great place to ask readers and writers about their experience at past events, and it’s open to anyone interested in Rendezvous.

Once you’ve registered for this year’s Rendezvous, you’re ready to connect with fellow 2025 attendees via BAND (this popular desktop or app community platform has email notification capabilities and is linked on the registration form)! Sneak peeks, buddy reads, travel/lodging coordination, and frequently asked questions are just a few of the topics we’ll cover in the weeks leading up to this year’s event. We encourage all attendees to connect before and after the event through BAND.

Additional Writers Announced

Join us in welcoming our two new 2025 writers, Megan Besing and Ann Elizabeth Fryer! These sweet ladies are Rendezvous alums from our inaugural event in 2023, and we are delighted to have them back.

These additions bring us to a total of 46 writers for this year’s Rendezvous. Since our gathering is a round-table event, this is the final addition to the lineup unless our reader registration goal is met by September 1!

Keep an eye on the event page for updates as we finalize plans. Rendezvous is open to registered attendees only, and seating is limited. To register, visit the event page, complete the registration form, and submit payment. Follow participating writers and event sponsors for standard or late registration discount codes. To receive email updates, subscribe below.
