Hi! I'm a new member to this site. Hope to find it helpful as well as being helpful to others. Have any of you heard about a contest looking for new Christian writers with manuscripts to publsh? (HA!) Wait a minute..I just realized that everyone here is probably looking for publishers!
Anyway..I am a new writer with a new manuscript that is begging for a publisher. Any help wwould be appreciated.

Welcome BeBlessed,
Yes, many of us here want publishers. And there are many publishers who want good manuscripts. Have you ever done any submitting to publishers? What is your manuscript? Novel, non-fiction, article, poem, screenplay? Let us know more. We'd love to help.

Glad to have you aboard. Hope you enjoy getting to know everyone.

Thank you Dr Rita for your quick response.
My manscript would be listed as a helps or self help book. It is the story of how I coped with my husband's chronic illnes that went from his diagnosis of legally blind, to ESRD to ischemia, a variety of other diseases and diagnoses including a bilateral amputation. He passed away this February and is with the Lord where we will one day be re-united.
This book is to help all of the Christians(especially the women) who find themselves in the same situation as I did with a husband who was once strong and the "man of the house" so to speak who was their major support but now, they have to make decisions that they never thought would be thier sole responsibility. My book also helps women to see that in God's order man is still the head of the house and let's them know how to not make their husband's feel as though they (the wived) have lost respect for their husband. I found it to be a lonely and difficult journey, but one where God brought me (and until his death my husband) through the years victoriously in spite of the illnesses. I also include some practical information for the reader regarding D.M.E. and medications and how to deal with doctors and nurses.

I think this book is timely and needful for today's Christian woman and can be useful for any woman in an identical situation.

Thanks for joining this site! Welcome! I like your idea for a self-help book. You have the experience to write such a book, and it is needed!

Enjoy the site. We are glad to help.
