If you can locate a writers' group, they might know of something closer to home.<BR/><BR/>Rachelle Gardner is on my blogroll. Her blog is a daily stop for me.<BR/><BR/>Susn Titus Osborne has an excellent booklet on writing devotionals. I learned a lot from her. Two important aspects of devotional writing is to stick to one subject and write tight.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

Someday, though.<BR/><BR/>I tried to get one devotion published, it ended up being my very first rejection! :)<BR/><BR/>I've posted a few more times since the last time I talked to you. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever visited Rachelle Gardner's (agent) blog? It is awesome! She's having a contest today that involves a 10 page critique to the winner.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982825577207265863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-41474618888085748782008-08-14T19:03:00.000-04:002008-08-14T19:03:00.000-04:00Hi Sarah -I'm blessed to live an hour from a major...Hi Sarah -<BR/><BR/>I'm blessed to live an hour from a major conference, which means no airfare or hotel expenses. Check out conferences online, there may be a regional one near you.<BR/><BR/>I went to a small, one-day conference about a year after I started seeking publication. An ezine editor liked my work and asked me to do a devotional. The following year, I attended my first big conference.<BR/><BR/>Someday, I'd like to go the the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference (ACFW). Since it's usually far away, the big issues are time and money.<BR/><BR/>Any new posts at your blog?<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.
