Articles do not necessarily have to have a spiritual message, but should cover subject matter that will help a student better themselves. NOTE: This is a themed magazine, so to better your chances of getting published, please e-mail credomag@barefootministries.com and ask for a theme list so you know what type of articles we are looking for in upcoming issues. * Although Credo is a devotional magazine, we aren't looking for submissions of devotional material; we assign those out based on the theme of the issue. HOWEVER, we are always open to new devotional writers, so if you're interested in writing devotions, send a sample devotional to credomag@barefootministries.com and we'll take a look at it. * Credo's guidelines aren't online, but if you e-mail credomag@barefootministries.com and ask for them, we'll be happy to send them to you. Overworked topics: * Anything related to dating and "happy-thoughtish" articles--by that I mean articles that don't really dive into the Scripture, but instead are more of the "this is what happened to me, so apply it to your life." Credo is all about going deeper and teaching teens how to live out their faith in every day life.

Workshop 5E - Think Like an Editor, Sell Like a Pro One-on-One Appointments Paid Critiques Editorial Needs: General Information: Feature stories should be powerful, dramatic, inspiring, role-model stories that teach by example, rather than “here’s what to do and how to do it.” Stories may be heart-touching, funny, adventurous, compelling—but all will be a “good read.” Stylistically, most features will be more Reader’s Digest or Guidepost. They will inform while entertaining. All stories should be positive, upbeat, and inspirational. They should encourage readers to live life to the fullest and finish well according to biblical principles. Human interest stories should demonstrate lifestyles and experiences that will encourage and show readers how they can make this second half of their lives rich, full of purpose, and significance.

			Angelia L. White - unable to come Publisher & CEO Hope for Women Magazine www.hopeforwomenmag.org In 2000, Angelia first had the thought of developing a Christian lifestyle magazine – a magazine filled with real women, real stories, real life issues, and real hope.

When she lost her father and her grandmother within two months during 2005, White was reminded of how short life is, and she knew it was time to take concrete steps to fulfill her dream. White didn’t know where to begin, to fulfill her passion. But as she trusted God to lead her, he guided her all the way – opening and closing doors. He provided the right people at the right time, and blessed her with a supportive husband, family, friends, and an incredible mentor who not only believed in her vision but helped to make it a reality. With a wonderful team of dedicated individuals at her side, in September, 2006 she launched Hope for Women. White serves as publisher of Hope for Women magazine, which is produced by her company, Virtuous Publications Inc.

Successful DJ articles need to: ● Derive their main principles from a thorough study of Scripture and include that biblical basis in the article. ● Illustrate each principle. ● Show how to put each principle into practice. • Meet readers' needs and give a clear takeaway. ● Show that the author has experienced what he or she is teaching to the reader; be vulnerable. ● Engage the reader through good writing and storytelling.
