It can be rather confusing for attendees of Christian writers conferences or writers groups when publishing experts offer advice on craft, platform development, dealing with agents and publishers, or just about anything else.

Then they filter out information that doesn’t apply, so the problem of conflicting information has been solved! Among Christian writers, there are three different categories: vocational, avocational, and personal. The difference is the extent to which they prioritize and incorporate writing …

But I say it sings with a joy so contagious, It tickles …
Yes, Write Your Memoir
Do you feel deeply and passionately that you should write your memoir? Though I am not actively seeking memoirs, judging from the submissions my office receives, many people do. Please know this discussion does not include biographies. They are different from memoirs because not only are they written by a biographer, but the subject has been determined to be of great enough interest to warrant a biography. In contrast, anyone can write a book about themselves unaided and without any vetting. Please Write It! Most people experience some trauma, whether innumerable splinter-like hurts or one or more major events. Writing …
