This week I am delighted to post two exciting praise reports: 

1) On Wednesday, I graduated with my MFA degree in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. After two and a half years of study, including the writing of a complete novel, I presented my thesis defense on Saturday evening and graduated on Wednesday, January 11. To God be the glory! 

2) After a hiatus of several years, I have resurrected the New Jersey Society of Christian Writers.  If you are a Christian writer living in New Jersey, please visit and join the NJSCW Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/njscw/   Also, if you know other Christian writers living in New Jersey, please tell them about NJSCW.  

To my knowledge, NJSCW is the only state-wide organization for Christian writers in New Jersey.  My long-range goal is to establish chapters in each of the 21 counties of the State. Our purpose is to equip Christian writers for spreading the Gospel through the written word. 

If you are interested in establishing a chapter in your county, please let me know and I will help you get started. 

Blessings, 

MaryAnn
