We're a Traditional Catholic Publisher and I desperately want to help, nourish, record our experiences, our lives, the resistance, the pain, the glory, the isolation, the joys of real sacraments, or lack thereof for those living too far from a bona fide chapel or close but can't tell if valid or not, SSPX, sede's, whichever position, not bothered with affiliation as such! Just want honest lives written.
I've been advertising in Writer's Market for a couple of years and have had next to no success getting genuine writers. I get the periodic new age novus rubbish but that's mostly it.
Send it to me! I'm here to help. Full length manuscripts - short stories - poems. Send it please. I can edit, encourage, help. And there is no catch, no money involved, well not yours anyway. Feel free to check us out, ask questions, grill - whatever will get the creativity flowing or all those MS's pulled out of the drawer and sent.
The website is www.christianbookstoday.com. To submit writers do need to register - just the bare min info, name, password etc & the captcha's help avoid spammers and hackers. (from experience)
If anyone had genuine Art busting inside them, it's Trads.
Seriously!
Thank you for your consideration.
And any questions please ask.
Jason.

Fantastic! Feel at liberty just to compose and I'll help you whatever the quality of your work.
I wished to add that given the fact next to nothing in specifically Catholic literature has been composed and published in the past 40 to 50 years, my wife and I are entirely dedicated to helping everyone regardless of what stage in experience you are with your literary skills.
We believe there's a strong and dedicated audience for such work and want to facilitate its re-emergence.
For example, if there's enough poetry and fiction we can get a literary quarterly going. If there are full fiction manuscripts gathering dust because modernist publishers won't touch it for fear of offending their ecumenical church partners, we want to see it asap!
As Trads, we've been persecuted, lied about, excluded, laughed at, discriminated against, scorned, fired from jobs, pitted against family members and often left alone ... just for being loyal. I can only imagine the stories that need to be told. And I think it's time to speak to the world about our experiences through bona fide Catholic art.
Jason.
