Summer Publishing Workshop
All members of the Anistemi Community is welcomed & encouraged to participate!
Our goal is a publishing praise party meant to stir one another up to courage in Christ! We want diversity of voices, ages, styles, and approaches united around themes that showcase light in the darkness—and Christ's command & promise given to his followers in John 28:18-20!
Beginning in May Thursday newsletters will share details, encouragement, & inspiration. Please share with Christian creative writers you know; we publish as many as our team can since our mission is not polished perfection but boldness for the sake of Christ. We provide as much editorial feedback as possible...and all stories will receive illustrative cover art, a feature in our Newsletters, and a spot in our Open Access Library (see Summer Stories).
Your copyright is your own; you retain full rights to your story. You may share previously published stories, and you may publish our story elsewhere (as long as the other publishers don't require exclusive rights). The specific format, including illustration, remains property of Anistemi Publishing. See detailed terms and conditions, and contact us with questions.

Past Participants Say
Bekah from Utah
"I loved how simple and fun the publishing part actually was. It was so nice to be able to just write a story, get feedback, and within only a few weeks have it published."
Jedidiah from Texas
"I appreciated the process of starting with an idea and finishing a complete, published story that was enjoyable, including watching ideas come together, getting feedback from other authors, and putting together a meaningful final product."
Ruth from Maine
"The workshop taught me how to publish and make my stories more creative. I like that it was Christian-based and centered on God, and being able to publish my own story helped me share imaginative ideas more clearly."

The flexibility in the Workshop and intentional care for each student are obvious and have been amazing blessings for me. Instead of receiving an unbending formula of how a story must mathematically hold together, the Workshop was carefully crafted to aid every student in his or her own writing journey through any genre of story the student wishes to pursue.
Addie
I've always enjoyed writing, but somewhere in the back of mind, I've had the wish to see some of my work published. The Summer Publishing Workshop was the first time I ever got to see a bit of my goal accomplished.
Ellie
There's always more to learn regarding how to write more effectively, so I was hoping for increased guidance on that, which I certainly received! I also wanted to try out the publishing experience and consider publishing through Anistemi.

I liked the encouragement to write, the accountability of a deadline, and the knowledge that I could actually do something with my writing besides let it just keep sitting around in my head!
