Congratulations, Andrea!

Being Out With Lanterns: Part Four

Zooming In

Hey, Writerly Women! Will you join me in congratulating our own ANDREA CHATMAN? She has been offered a contract by Elk Lake Publishing for her novel Beneath the Deep. Elk Lake is a small but traditional royalty-paying house publishing books of a Christian nature. This is HUGE for Andrea, and I'm thrilled for her as I know you are. We'll celebrate Saturday.

Anytime you have a milestone in your writing journey -- be it, "I wrote 5,000 words this week," or "An agent wants to see my manuscript," or "I had a short story published," or "I got a contract!" -- I would love to share that here so we can all do the happy dance with you.

See you Saturday!

Blessings,

Nancy Rue

Thanks, Andrea! Love that term, BTW, a 'plantser'; it carries a good bit of weight and information within it. :)

The zoom was awesome ❤❤❤ I love hanging out with you ladies. It is always so energizing!!

Laureen, great question! I'm a plantser writer. A middle ground between a writing by the seat of my pants and planning it through. I have to know the beginning and the ending but the rest just kind of comes. 😂

How about you?

Hi, all! That session today was great, and my thanks, Nancy, for bringing us together for it. 🙏🏼☺️

I thought of this question after we ended: Do all of you already have a story laid out in your minds before you start writing? You knew the beginning, middle, and ending of the story?

Thanks and it was nice meeting you!

Thank you ❤❤ I'm excited and nervous and feel like I'm sending my kid to college 😂

Cathy, thank you so much! That is great to hear. I did as much research as I could on them. Glad to hear your daughter had such a positive experience with them. I looked up her author page and bought her book on Kindle! I'm excited to read it. I enjoy the authors she mentioned inspired her too. Especially Verne, who inspired my book. Has she met Robin? I know her!

How wonderful, Andrea! They are a great company to work with. Deb Haggarty, the owner, is a dear woman of God. Our daughter, Faith, just had her debut novel published with them this past November. It's gorgeous! Praying all goes well for you! Blessings!
