Weaving

My research has taken another turn--all this searching for publishers has made me realize the need to write my first draft of my book. I honestly have been spending a lot of time writing and matching personal stories to scripture--I have a long way to go.

My searching has become a bit haphazard--I decided to read all my posts and make a list of steps to take next.

Web sites to research and/or research more:
1. First Edition www.ecpa.org
2. American Christian Writers www.acwriters.com
3. The Writer's Edge www.writersedgeservice.com
4. Trafford Publishing www.trafford.com
5. www.ChristianManuscriptSubmissions.com
6. Bowker's Literary MarketPlace www.LiteraryMarketPlace.com

Places to visit:
1. The library
2. The Christian bookstore(s)
3. Barnes and Nobles

Things to keep in mind:
1. Develop a name by writing for smaller publishers or magazines.
2. If you know a published author, ask him or her to recommend you.
3. Join a writer's group
4. Attend a writer's conference

Things to do now:
Send a one page fax to Bethany House
