For Writers |

Years ago, when I began exploring writing as a career, I didn’t have a clue as to how the publishing industry worked. I didn’t know what went into writing a book worthy of publication, nor did I understand how important it was for writers to network and be involved in marketing.

I’ve learned a lot along the way, but there’s always more to absorb. Fortunately, we don’t have to do it alone. In the Christian market, there are many authors, agents, and editors who are willing to share their knowledge. I’ve been grateful for people who have been willing to encourage and mentor writers on the road to publication.

You’ll find on this page some personal favorites—websites, blogs, organizations, books—to help you during your own journey.

Seriously Write I co-host and write articles for this blog. Our mission is to encourage and equip Christian writers along their journey to publication. We include articles on the craft of writing, opportunities to ask writing-related questions, encouragement, and articles featuring guest authors sharing their own journeys.
