The goal of my website is to encourage Lutherans to write. But you know all those long acknowledgements in the front and back of your favorite books? Those demonstrate that more than one person is typically involved in producing a book! So, if you are looking for help, here is a list of Lutheran freelance writer support. These are professionals who you can contract to provide the services you need to present the highest quality result possible.
(Obviously, you can use non-Lutheran ones, too. I’m just highlighting Lutheran writing-related professionals.)
There are proofreaders, editors, illustrators, indexers, graphic designers, writing coaches, and more.
Am I missing something or someone? Please do drop me a note. Meanwhile, I hope you can join me in helping people connect with those they need in whatever way you can!
You know what else you can do? Spread the idea of Lutheran novelists, poets, hymnists, proofreaders, editors and more. Embrace the clear expressions of vocation in Lutheranism. Oh, and throw in a love for reading and writing along with it! 🙂
