CONTRIBUTIONS
:

Contributions on the theme of writing are always welcome. If you have some advice or encouragement for Christian writers, or an announcement of some event of interest to members, do send it to the editor for consideration by the 1st of the month before the next publication date. Submissions should be no more than 500 words and hard copy manuscripts will not be returned unless a self-addressed stamped envelope is enclosed. The editor reserves the right to condense and/or edit any contributions because of the space available in the magazine. Ideas and opinions will not be edited, but editing of a technical nature may occur to maintain the highest quality of writing possible.
