Writing Op - Power of the Pen



Forwarded from Terri Pilcher

I am looking for personal essays of 800-1500 words for use on a website and in an upcoming self-published anthology. Payment is $20 for one-time rights, which covers use both on the website and/or ezine and in the anthology. Writers accepted for publication will also receive one free copy of the book and will be able to buy unlimited copies at 50% off the cover price. You may choose to remain anonymous (as long as I know who to send the check to).

I am looking for heartwarming first-person stories that show the power of God to overcome "impossible" circumstances in the defense of life. They may be heartwrenching, but must end with a positive tone. They may also be humorous, sweet, or miraculous.

Stories may fall in the following categories:

1. Mothers who almost aborted their children, and how God helped them to survive the "impossible" situation. For example, one woman almost aborted her second child, because she didn't think there was any way she could raise a second child alone and without any support. Instead kept her son and named him Phoenix, because God used him to save her life.

2. Mothers who did abort their children, and how God healed them from the pain and led them to grace.

3. Children who were almost aborted, and the difference they've made in the lives of others. For example, a seventh son was almost aborted by his Christian mother, because there was no money to support another child. She changed her mind, and he recently graduated medical school with an MD/PhD.

4. Fathers who chose to raise the children their girlfriends wanted to abort.

5. Other personal stories about the importance of unborn children.

Please submit stories to chooselife@powerpenmarketing.com

Thank you for passing this on,
