Want to write your personal story and have it published?

(The following is written by LRACW member and noted author Tricia Goyer.  It is used with permission. Come and learn from Tricia in person on May 21st at the LRACW Writers Conference.)

 Here's how to do that in less than 100 words:

Check out the book "A Story is a Promise." It's a GOOD one to get you started!

Then look over other books and try to find one that you like the format of.

Next, write YOUR story in the same format. Publishers like the same type of formats. The stories are different, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to format.

Finally, write your story out, and then find a critique group or hire someone to edit it for you.

Then submit it to publishers via the information you find in The Christian Writer's Market book!
