Photo Recap of The PEN Convention

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, The Christian PEN hosted its first annual Editor Convention, “Keys to Successful Freelance Editing,” in April 2014. For the next few weeks, I want to share some of the information from the workshops. But first, let’s look at some of the photos from the event to recap the fun fellowship the editors had.
