DCWF Christmas Book 2012

Deadline for Submissions EXTENDED to Memorial Day: May 28, 2012

Delmarva Christian Writers' Fellowship published an Advent devotional in 2002 and revised it in 2011. We're accepting submissions for a NEW Christmas publication for 2012. If you are (or have been) affiliated with DCWF, we invite you to submit a manuscript for consideration. Initially, this was going to be another devotional, but we have broadened the content beyond devotionals to include short stories, poetry, fillers--anything about Christmas that readers would find inspirational or enjoyable. 

Deadline: Monday, May 28, 2012

Guidelines:

You can submit a devotional (Scripture, Meditation of 350 or fewer words, and Prayer), a short story (1200 words or less), a poem (free verse or rhyme), an inspirational saying, a Bible lesson with activities, fillers, or any other format the Lord has given you that would inspire or delight. Your manuscript can be for children or adults . . . think "family time" as well as private Christmas reflection.
