Are you a young Lutheran who enjoys the written word? Have you ever thought of writing for Higher Things magazine but just didn’t know where to start or what to write about? Do you sometimes even think it would be neat to be a full-time writer for the Church one day?
If writing is your thing, then be sure to attend the new three-session in-depth sectional at The Feast. Professional writer and editor Julie Stiegemeyer, along with editor Adriane Dorr, who both work for Higher Things magazine will teach you the basics of writing and editing. They’ll help you better understand what it takes to be a Christian writer as well as what Higher Things is looking for in its authors. In other words, they’ll explain what it takes to be a successful author and give you some helpful pointers to get you started.
Because this workshop will be broken up into three different parts, you will have a chance to do some hands-on editing of your own writing with the help of these editors! Before the conference, you’ll need to send a sample of something you’ve written that you’re interested in cleaning up and getting ready to submit for publication. To send in your writing or get more information, e-mail the writing guru herself at jstiegemeyer@higherthings.org. Get your pens and paper, and meet a couple of the editors of Higher Things magazine at The Feast!
