I am looking for someone who can write short educational stories from the bible for children. We need 52 to begging with. The stories are for children between the ages of 4-6 yrs old. These stories will need to be written in word document. If anyone can help me find someone(they will be paid) I would be very thankful. Email me at afflock@earthlink.net with the subject of Children4Christ.

Anthony,
Could you give a little more background about who you are and what these stories would be for--Sunday school curriculum, magazines, home school, etc. And what company, church, publishing house etc. you represent. With just an e-mail address, I'm afraid you won't get much action. People are wary of responding to an unknown person's e-mail. Thanks.

Sure thing I’ll give you some more info I have never posted on this site before. The name of our company (which will be open around Feb of 2006) is Children4Christ. We are still working on our website. We are going to develop educational software for children’s church. We need someone to write the stories and we have a programmer who will make them into software. These stories will be used in Sunday school. We will need 52 total to beging with but eventually we will need more. Also in the future we need “moral” stories. For example how to be a good Christian friend, son, brother, daughter, and so on. Stories about not stealing, lying, and so on. We are looking for someone who is creative and loves to write for children.

thanks
anthony

Dear Butterfly678,
I thought I was answering a post to write for a company wanting a Christian writer to write for them. What exactly is my project you would like your stories included in. I would like more details before continuing?

WARNING!

I answered a similar ad on another website from this group. They answered how interested they were, but said they were still setting up their offices. I sent them my story. They said they loved my story and were very interested and would get back to me. It has been about 4 months and I have written them several times and they have not responded.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with this company, but just warning all to be careful. I sent them a story and have not heard back from them, even after writing and requesting feedback several times.

Thank-you for your words of wisdom -- I haven't heard another word from them. We all work too hard to pursue wisps of wind.

I wish you all the best in your endeavors to spread the word of Christ through literature. May God pour out His blessings to you both.

Love in Christ

Thanks for all of your input. I guess there will always be those out there who will use whatever way possible to keep from doing their own work. Thanks.
