Authors share their Journey to Publication

Over at Examiner.com, I am the National Christian Writing Examiner. Yes, you already know that. But I want to share a feature I started from the beginning and have come to love. I believe it will benefit you as a writer.

It's called Journey to Publication. Basically, published authors answer questions about their path to publication. I personally love hearing success stories of other authors. Really, there is no one better to learn from than someone who's been there. I mean, all authors were unpublished at one time, right? Reading about how they beat the odds (because, let's face it: it's tough to get published!) is a huge encouragement to me.

So I thought I'd provide links to each Journey to Publication article. I'll be posting more on Examiner.com - I try to post one a week, at least - so if you want to read those, you'll have to subscribe to my Christian Writing page so you receive notices when they're posted.

So here they are. As you'll see, it is a diverse list, with writers of different genres and styles, and each story is different. Hope they offer you encouragement, wisdom, and motivation.
