Much more effective to work together to build up a thriving industry at home. One of the things we have done is published the anthology, Hot Apple Cider, which has has work by 30 Canadian authors in it. Not all fiction, of course, although there is some. But it's been a real door-opener and conversation-starter for us because of its professionalism and high-quality. (Both keys to being taken seriously!)N. J.

I agree it's important we don't lose our cultural identity, and this is another reason why we need to support the smaller Christian Publishers in our own countries.Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-66479083706372103192010-01-07T05:20:45.204-08:002010-01-07T05:20:45.204-08:00So glad Joanna suggested Alice interview me. I hop...So glad Joanna suggested Alice interview me. I hope all your readers, and especially the Canadians who come here. will check out The Word Guild and Write! Canada. It's one of my strongest beliefs that we need to work together as much as possible, on local and national levels as well as a world-wide level. There is enormous strength in people working together to help one another. Change happens when people join together.N.. J.

I love the benefits that come year-round through internet connections with other writers, but it's great to meet face to face.

I'm forever trying to aim for markets overseas and changing my style to fit the market.<br /><br />You've given me a lot to think about. Yes, God has placed me here for a reason and he will use me for his purposes. So why am I trying to be somewhere else? Good question!<br /><br />This has been insightful.
