Well, "mind mapping" is the solution. We are all creative people but most of us do not know how to access the full power of our brains. Mind mapping is a simple, yet powerful process that can jump start the creative process to help you prepare a message, write a letter or even write a book! Dr Sandra Herron kindles the transformation process. She helps people get the thoughts from their heads and the feelings from their hearts match the words that come out of their mouths. Then transformation occurs for both the speaker and the listener. Her careers include being a speech pathologist, psychotherapist, keynote and retreat speaker, professor, and minister. As a trainer/coach she has coached over 1000 ministers at the Robert Schuller School for Preaching. In progress is her book: SOLE TO SOUL: The heart of communication.

Are you barely hanging on to the knot at the end of your writer’s rope-of-hope? Have you found the traditional publishing route a lost opportunity? Is there another way to get your book published? Maybe it’s time for you to consider Custom Publishing. For years, editors have been teaching people to go the traditional route, get an agent and write a book proposal. Yet the traditional publishers are cutting back on the books which they print and the number of authors which they will publish. That path seems narrower and narrower. There is another way, custom publishing or independent publishing. With the “right” guidance, you can be much more successful with custom publishing than traditional. Tune in to find out how.

For those of you new to our writing series, here is a little more insight to our expert guest. Linda Gilden's ministry could be summed up in one word - encouragement. As a speaker, she speaks to women's groups, parent groups, and church groups, encouraging them to be better communicators with those around them. As a teacher (she teaches at several national writers conferences in addition to the CLASS seminars each year), she encourages those in her classes to work hard to share the message God has given them. As a writer, she communicates clearly God's love to others. As an editor, she encourages others as she helps them perfect their writing and polish their manuscripts. Linda has been publishing and speaking for over two decades and is the author of hundreds of articles and several books. Through editing and ghostwriting, she finds additional opportunities to encourage others.

When you hear the phrase Christian fiction, what do you think of? Some people think that it is stories about Biblical characters, the first Christians, or the early church. Some think it has to have the gospel integrated into it, either directly or indirectly in allegory. Others, believe that there has to be a clear salvation scene somewhere in the book for it to be labeled Christian fiction. Our guest, author, speaker and popular retreat leader Golden Keyes Parsons, will provide insight into this sometimes controversial realm of Christian writing.
