Fellowship of Christian Writers began with a handful of writers in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area in 1979. We are men and women, sharing a love for Jesus and talents for verbal expression, joining together for encouragement, education, and fellowship. Our goal is to equip and encourage writers to follow their God-given dreams of putting words to paper. Whether writing for the religious or secular market, writing articles or novels, or writing news, features, devotionals, poetry, scripts, and essays, writers have a special calling to deliver well-crafted words to their readers. Our purpose is to provide mentoring and instruction; share skills; offer kindly criticism; supply information on markets, contests, and conferences; share prayer needs, and be inspired and encouraged by fellow writers. Our desire is that our written words always reflect Christ and glorify God.
“The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it.”
Psalm 68:11
Coming up:
February Meeting
Kristi Woods | Brainstorming Session
Join us in February for a valuable Brainstorming Session. This will be an interactive meeting where we help one another with writing-related issues.
Do you need help with the writing process? You might need suggestions for a title, a character name appropriate to your story’s setting, plot problems, sticky grammar issues, mastering your words, or simply how to hone your idea and begin.
Do you need insight on what to do with a finished manuscript? Maybe you’re searching for tips on how to revise and edit, which publishing path to take, how to submit your work, or how to work with agents and publishers.
Come with questions and willingness to help others; you might have just the information, ideas, or encouragement that will help someone else.
FCW Advisory Board member Kristi Woods will lead this Brainstorm Session. Kristi is a speaker and author who shares stories about Jesus and other heroes through contemporary Christian romance and Christian nonfiction. Find her award-winning work spread widely online and in print, including Spark Flash Fiction, Guideposts, and her gift book, 101 Prayers for Military Wives. Kristi, her Desert Storm pen pal-turned-husband, and three (now adult) children survived a nomadic, military lifestyle and have set roots in Oklahoma. There, she keeps a close watch for tornadoes and rich, creamy chocolate. Grab your free faith-building resources and flash fiction stories by subscribing at KristiWoods.net.
Come join us! We look forward to sharing this time together.
