New Regular Writing Gig!

So apparently good news comes on Friday posts! You're reading from the newest "regular contributor" column writer for SAGE Ministry's new online magazine which will debut in September. The online mag is in the developmental phases, and the director, Merritt Johnston, is looking for contributors and is very open to creative ideas! I emailed Merritt to see if a regular column by a licensed therapist would work for the magazine, and my idea was met with excitement! So now I'll be writing columns mainly geared toward the parents of young women on how to model healthy relationship values for them! Can you say WAY down my alley?

I might need some help for a cool column name....if you have any ideas, shoot them my way in the comment section.

The magazine will be geared around the theme of Undivided: The Beauty of a Heart Completely His (Psalm 86:11). But each month will have a different subject (see below).




If you are interested, here's a portion of an email (reproduced from Mary DeMuth's website) by Merritt in a call for submissions:

"We will be unveiling our new website within the next month, and we will have a monthly feature topic for each of the coming months running through the end of the year.

The current theme/focus areas are:

September: Generosity - celebrating and practicing a spirit of gracious giving (Deadline: August 15)

October: Mentorship – understanding and implementing the call of mentorship (Deadline: September 5)

November: Family – embracing those nearest to us with a Christ-like love (Deadline: October 5)

December: A Christ-Christmas – altering our perspectives from holiday to holy (Deadline: November 5)

If you have an idea for a project girls could do related to these areas or an article idea, please send those to me. Articles need to be 500 words or less and be accompanied by a brief author bio and pic.

We currently do not have the resources to compensate you monetarily for your work. However, if your work is received well, then there is the possibility of enlisting you for a paid assignment in our resource development department."

Merritt can be reached at merritt@sageministries.org if you are interested.

Haven't heard anything yet about the article I submitted to Today's Christian Woman. Hopefully I'll know something before the ACFW conference...because the editor said 6 weeks. Can you believe the conference is right here on us? Crazy.

Anyway...happy weekend writing!
