. . . after contacting a few publishers the most helpful one at this point has been Focus on the Family. They suggested that many periodicals welcome free-lance articles submitted on a speculation basis. For guidance in selecting a suitable target for my writing, they suggest I consult the current edition of Writer's Market, a handbook of all North American publications including Christian magazines. Writer's Market is available in most local bookstores and public libraries . . . generally Christian publications are listed in the "Religion" section of this helpful reference work. They also suggested consulting Sally Stuart's A Christian Writer's Market Guide. This book is available at a cost of $33.50 (including postage), and may be ordered by contacting the author at 1647 S.W. Pheasant Drive, Aloha, OR 97006-3811. They also suggested contacting my local library about writers' clubs and support groups in my area. This gives me a bit of direction and a place to start looking. Off to search I go!
