The 2014 Christian Writer's Literary Festival (www.christianwritersliteraryfestival.blogspot.com) was
the fourth annual event of its kind sponsored by Christian Authors on Tour /CAOT
(www.christianauthorsontour.com). This day-long, literary experience offered the opportunity for
Christian authors to share their expertise, testimony and writing ministry in a setting that encouraged and
inspired Christian writers and Christian book lovers. It was and is always the last stop of any of CAOT’s
annual Christian book tours.
Authors who participated in the 2014 Christian Writer’s Literary Festival had opportunities to (1) sell
their books and/or products; (2) showcase their book ministries; (3) connect with Christian book lovers;
and (4) speak via open mike/author readings. Although the 2014 Christian Writer’s Literary Festival did
not include author panel discussions, it did provide opportunities for authors to participate in an open
mike session where they either read excerpts from their books or gave a brief overview about their
books. The 2014 Christian Writer’s Literary Festival was held at a new venue, the Downtown Cultural
Arts Center, located 401 N. Howard Street (21202); it offered the following benefits to attendees:
• Book Selling & Fellowship - The authors and vendor tables on the main level provides opportunities
for attendees to interact intimately (one-on-one) with authors and to obtain resource information
regarding writing as a tool for Christian ministry;
• Professional/Spiritual Development - The keynote speaker, the workshop facilitator, and the authors
shared from their hearts and their love for God
• Missions Outreach – Attendees donated three boxes of personal hygiene items to the Karis Home and
the Baltimore Rescue Mission. The donations were delivered immediately following the literary
event
Readers and writers of Christian books enjoyed a day of fellowship, learning and praise at the 2014
Christian Writer’s Literary Festival!

5. A Day in Review …
This digital program booklet offers a glimpse of the God-inspired, Christian writer’s literary festival that
took place on 12/13/14 in Baltimore, MD at the 5th and final stop of the 2014 Called to Serve: Christian
Authors on Tour (CAOT)!
Although the turn-out was small at the 2014 Christian Writer’s Literary Festival, the Lord’s spirit was
plentiful and present! The day was packed with information, resources and testimonies from Christian
authors from all over the country. These men and women use writing as a tool for Christian ministry.
They shared their hearts, their testimonies and their love.
I thank each of the attendees who came out to meet these Christian authors, to purchase their books,
and to sow blessings into the lives of homeless men and women in Baltimore! You (attendees) were
there because God ordained it to be so, and we were so blessed by your presence! Thank You!
I thank those CAOT authors/members who came out to support their fellow CAOT authors/members.
Thank YOU for being willing to show-up to support other writing warriors!
To the CAOT & AAAE authors who showcased their books at the 2014 Christian Writer’s Literary
Festival … your creativity, excellence, obedience, faithfulness, and love for God set that place on FIRE!
THANK YOU!
I also thank the volunteers who came out to lend their service, prayers and support. THANK YOU!
To those of you who missed the opportunity to attend this powerful literary event, I do hope you enjoy
reading this digital program booklet. Feel free to follow-up with the various authors, speakers, and
presenters featured in this digital program booklet via Facebook or email!
WARNING! Don’t sleep on CAOT authors/members and/or literary events! If you do, you will miss the
blessing of fellowship and the opportunity to meet and learn from other men and women of God who
are on FIRE for the Lord and committed to using writing as a tool for Christian ministry - be part of
something Godly, good and purposeful!
