This is my eighth year. It's such a wonderful group of Christian friends. We have Writer's eXchange groups in several genres: Fiction, Devotions, Poetry, etc. For more information see </span><a href="http://www.wams.org/"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">www.wams.org</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">. Membership is open to anyone interested in Christian Writing. We have one book published - <strong><em>Daily Devotions for Writers</em></strong> available on Amazon and another in process. If you are a writer and would be interested in our group or have any questions be sure to let me know..</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Without this group I would have not had the courage to write a book. Yet as I sit here, my book is being printed and should be available sometime in the next week or two. <em><strong>Fearless Teaching from a Grocery Cart</strong></em> is a book of true stories defining my 12 years of teaching GED classes in an Indiana County Jail, with only a grocery cart for my desk. Each of the 20 chapters has <strong>Tips for Teachers</strong> at the end. These could be helpful for any teacher in your life. If I could successfully teach through the bars and have graduates each year, most of you who teach can gain something from the stories I've told.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">Email me at <a href="mailto:steinmag@gmail.com">steinmag@gmail.com</a> if you would like to purchase a book. They are $18.00 which includes the shipping. You can preview the book on Amazon, but my price beats theirs.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841577346095356789-6117633558510766286?l=margaret-steinacker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Margaret Steinackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554231808174097185noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841577346095356789.post-73904239067824844342009-08-01T20:11:00.000-04:002009-08-01T20:14:06.970-04:00I am so new at this, but hope to find some friends with similar interests.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841577346095356789-7390423906782484434?l=margaret-steinacker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Margaret Steinackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554231808174097185noreply@blogger.com2
