Writing in Christianity Today (@CTmagazine), Bryn Sandberg (@brynsandberg) says “new opportunities from journalist David Aikman and novelist Jerry Jenkins aim to help aspiring authors who lack a platform.”
To address the difficulty that new writers are having [in getting published], Jenkins and Aikman are independently starting new initiatives they hope will improve the odds that fresh Christian talent can get work published.
David Aikman created the Aikman Opportunity Award for Young Christian Writers (@AikmanAward) to give authors a start as well as persuade them to go into Christian writing as a career. The purpose of the award is to identify nonfiction Christian manuscripts to steer toward publication in 2014....
In his own effort to help aspiring writers get published without having a "name" in the industry, Jenkins recently launched a self-publishing company, Christian Writers Guild Publishing (@CWGuild).
