Sally Jadlow and Deer Hunting

Sally JadlowSally Jadlow is the author of ten books. Her miracle series, God’s Little Miracle Book (I, II, & III) has been recorded by Sally this past year. There is a growing number of people using audio books these days so we need to keep up with the markets.

Check out her website at: SallyJadlow.com.

Do you have a mentor and/or author/and/or book that helped you this past year. A student recently gave me a very helpful book. It’s a thesaurus with the definitions of the alternative words all in one place. “Choose the Right Word by S.I. Hayakawa. (Second Edition)”

What frustrates you the most, the editing or marketing? Marketing. It’s a little like going on a deer hunt and finding few tracks.

Is there a scripture that helped you in your writing journey this past year? Exodus 4:12 “Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say .”

At this year’s conference, Sally teaches

What would you like conference attendees to know about you? Maybe something that would help them feel comfortable approaching you. I’m old, so my sharp teeth are pretty worn down so I don’t bite–very hard. I only eat small children, not adults.

What do you see as the greatest take away from your workshop and why/who will get the most out of your workshop? I think its always fun to learn new poetry forms. As writers, we need to learn to write tight. Poetry teaches us to say the most with the fewest words. So, if you want to sharpen your writing skills, no matter if you are a newbie or are an old hand at this writing business, come on in. The water’s fine!

If you could share only one piece of information/tip/encouragement with a writer, what would it be? Never give up. With each rejection, you are step closer to that acceptance.

How do I justify spending the money to attend another Heart of America Christian Writers Network Conference (HACWN) in November? 

After all, I’m on the Leadership Team for Omaha Wordsowers Christian Writer’s Conference and knee deep into the plans for April 24-25, 2015.

But after praying about it, waffling back and forth, I finally said, “This is something I enjoy. The Littleton’s allow me to teach workshops and I love meeting new authors, editors and publishers. Why not attend?”
After the 2012 HACWN conference I understood why I attend year after year—I saw at least four women latch onto a writing future. One of them, Rachel Skatvold is ready to release her first novella, “Beauty Within” next month.
What are the five reasons I attend HACWN year after year?
  1. Inspiration: I’m totally selfish. My number one reason is to find that extra “Umph” to keep me writing through the next year. When I hear about others accomplishments, I’m excited to arrive home and set goals for the next year.
  2. Encouragement: To cheer on another author is like a gift to me. I’m rejuvenated when I have the opportunity to meet “new to HACWN” attendees, give them a pep talk, pray with them and share what I’ve learned in the last year.
  3. Network with editors and publishers: Put my face before them, yes. But also to dig into their needs, both industry and personal. Ask, “How can I pray for you?”
  4. Learn what’s new in the writing industry: Be aware of the changes, but realize the world still wants to hold a magazine and/or a book. I’m also learning how to publish an E-book. I choose to live in a progressive world full of change.
  5. Support your closest writer’s conference. Because of Mark and Jeanette Littleton and their many volunteer helpers, HACWN is available year after year. By attending each year and paying our dues, we make it possible for new authors to have the same opportunities we’ve had in the past.

Really there are six reasons. Carol Cumberland and family “house” our Omaha group. We have stayed in her home five times—this November is # sixth time.
I can’t wait until November —who knows what new friends I’ll make.
