Want to Get Published?

When I (Marla) have the chance to meet new people and share with them what I do, they often tell me, "I have an idea for a book. How do I go about getting it published?"

 

Mentoring new authors is vital part of our ministry here at Leap of Faith. As a published author and editor with a number of years of experience in the industry, I'd love to provide you with encouragement and professional advice to help you begin a career as a writer. I can help you develop your book idea, edit your work if necessary and help you create a winning proposal to submit to publishers. For more information and pricing, please contact me at marla_alupoaicei@yahoo.com. Thank you!

 

Also, Mary DeMuth, an experienced author and speaker, has a fantastic blog called So You Want to Be Published? On her blog and website, she offers excellent model query letters, a REAL book proposal you can download, and loads of helpful articles for new writers just starting out. Check out Mary's site at wannabepublished.blogspot.com/ and sign up for her informative newsletters.

 

I would also suggest that you subscribe to magazines like Writer's Digest, Poets & Writers, and Christianity Today. You'll gain invaluable inspiration, writing tips, and markets from these magazines. Also, you may want to buy the following books: The 2008 Writer's Market, The 2008 Christian Writer's Market, and the 2008 Guide to Agents, Publishers, etc. by Jeff Herman. You will turn to these books time and time again! All the best to you and I look forward to seeing your books in print!
