Assigned Writing

“Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Sally Stuart wrote in her resource book, Christian Writer’s Market Guide the following: “Once you have acquired a number of credits in a given field, write to some of those assignment-only editors, giving your credits and ask for an assignment.”

I have received assignments over the years because I have written to the editor and asked for an assignment. I received an assignment several months ago to write some devotions.

It’s important to remember to get those assignments back to the editor well before the deadline and you can be sure to receive another assignment in the future.

Writing devotions on assignment is a challenge because the editor sends a Scripture for that particular day. I then write a story in line with God’s Word.

God still opens doors but sometimes we need to ask!

A Prayer for Today
Father, thank you for opening the doors that only you can open. It is your hand that continues to direct my path. Inspire me to write as you lead.
