Full title – Writers on Writing: Top Christian Authors Share Their Secrets for Getting Published. Editor, James N. (Jim) Watkins.

If you total up the number of years’ experience represented by the list of contributors to this book, how many do you think it would be? I’m just guessing that, between Dennis Hensley, Cecil Murphey, Sally Stuart, Jerry Jenkins, and editor Jim Watkins, you’d have at least a couple hundred years. It says a lot for these successful writers that they would take time to contribute to a book specifically aimed at helping beginning writers. For me, the preface by Watkins is worth the price of the book.

The book covers every aspect of writing from inspiration to working with an agent and developing a platform. It’s organized in three parts: The Writer, The Craft, and The Business. If you’re a writer who has had no luck getting published, this book is for you. You’ll find plenty of ideas, and you’ll want to read it again periodically as you grow in your craft.

The book is available from Wesleyan Publishing House. Click here.
