I have a new column, The Parent Muse, which will appear bi-monthly at Spirit-Led Writer webzine. I’ll be highlighting successful authors who are also parents and will focus on encouraging the rest of us who feel called to write — in between diaper changing, carpooling, and heating up dinner.

Editor Lisa Crayton is always looking for inspirational articles and stories. In the Writer’s Guidelines, she says:

SPIRIT-LED WRITER is a resource for Christians who write in fiction and non-fiction genres for Christian and secular markets. It is for the beginner, intermediate and advanced writer.

As an alternative to secular writing resources, we choose to uplift the name of Jesus Christ, and give Him glory. Thus, we promote Spirit-led excellence and integrity in publishing. At SPIRIT-LED WRITER we recognize that our achievements come “not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord” and that “all things work together for our good.”

This month, I offer tips from three successful children’s authors: Katherine Paterson, Madeleine L’Engle, and Jonathan Rogers. I hope you’ll find a minute to check out the whole March issue of Spirit-Led Writer.
