L ETTER FROM THE EDITOR
We are celebrating our “Seventh Year Anniversary”. Seems like it
was yesterday we published our first issue and here we are today
publishing our forty-third edition.
Time has a way of flying at speeds we are unaware of until it
comes to a special date—such as a birthday or anniversary.
Then we look up and say, “Wow! Where did the time go?”
For us, the time went by while we researched for authors who
were living their dreams and being successful in the process.
The authors who were happy to show the “how-to” be a published
author. To share the ins and outs of effective promotions
and marketing avenues they found productive. By sharing their stories and writing
techniques, they have helped many writers hone skills and become better writers.
To date we have promoted over 2960 plus authors. We have had the privilege of meeting
and getting to know the authors who graced our pages. It was our honor to promote
each one.
We want to take this time to thank all the authors who have so graciously supported
Southern Writers Magazine.
As we go into our upcoming year, we hope to bring you more exiting venues to promote
authors and their books.
We hope to add video and audio to our online magazine in the future, which will enhance
the books in the magazine and open doors for readers to have more opportunities to get
to know the authors.
In this issue, you will learn which colors sell more books, in-depth editing process, how
to write a Psalm, how to use heartache and brokenness to write a best-selling book, how
to write drama plays for church and school, why writing Southern novels sell, techniques
for writing for kids, heavenly nudges on writing, writing games and more.
We’re not just a magazine—we’re also an author’s right arm working to promote you and
your books. Let us help you promote your books. Join our family now. Let us walk with
you on this road. We want to get good books out into the market.
Happy Anniversary and Happy Writing!
