My name is Marlene Bagnull and Write His Answer Ministries is all about encouraging and equipping you to write about a God who is real, who is reachable, and who changes lives!
 

♦ Have you ever been ready to give up?

♦ Have you tried everything you know but feel like you’re banging your head against a brick wall?

♦ What do you do when the accuser tells you that your best isn’t good enough – that it never has been and never will be?

Perhaps it’s a manuscript you’ve been working on for years. You’ve rewritten it not just once or twice but many times. Still you’ve been unsuccessful in finding an agent or publisher. It makes no sense because you know it’s something God has called you to write. You’ve studied the craft. You’ve gone to critique groups and conferences trying to find that missing something. And now . . . now you’re not sure you can keep on keeping on.

That was my experience with my first book that some of you know was rejected by 42 publishers over a six-year period. If I had given up (and believe me, there were many times I wanted to), it and the seven books that followed would never have been published. I would not have founded the Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference in 1983 or said yes in 1997 to directing the Colorado Christian Writers Conference. |
 

Now is the time to believe
You can make a difference!

• "Fix your eyes on Jesus" and rededicate yourself and your writing to Him.
   
• Ask the Lord how He would have you be "salt and light" in your own community through writing for the editorial page of your local newspaper. Click here for how-to's to get your editorial in print. And click here for “Biblical Guidelines for Addressing About Controvsial Issues.”
   
• Prayerfully set specific and measurable goals.
   
• Share your goals with friends who will pray for you and hold you accountable.
   
• Join an online critique group if you do not have a group that meets locally. My morning and evening bi-weekly critique groups are now meeting virtually. You’re welcome to visit. See “Critique Groups.”
   
• If you've never done Write His Answer - A Bible Study for Christian Writers, click here for what others are saying and for more information.
   
• Plan now to attend the Write His Answer Conference. This year the Colorado and Greater Philly Christian Writers Conferences are combined into ONE virtual conference May 11-14, 2022. Click here for informtion.
   
• Ask the Lord if He wants you to explore the possibility of bringing one of my Christian writers' seminars to your area. The cost of the seminar (including all the upfront expenses) is covered by the registration fee participants pay.
   

Father, I ask You to use each one of us in Ephesians 3:20 ways. Help us to believe, really believe, that You can use us to make a difference. Most of all help us to draw increasingly close to You so that the words we write and the lives we live will point others to Your Son who came and is coming again. In His name, Amen.
