This unique book provides the nuts and bolts and do's and don'ts of how to get published in this often misunderstood arena. This second edition is updated to include the digital world and the expanded opportunities this brings for nontraditional publishing.

Spiritual writers are drawn to the writing process by a powerful sense of mission, a desire to develop and share their special revelation with the world. But that call to write is often at odds with the realities of publishing and the commercial needs of publishers. Many writers feel they lack the knowledge and experience to cut through the red tape of the publishing industry. In Spiritual Writing, writer and literary agent Deborah Levine Herman and publisher Cynthia Black demystify the process and show writers how to create a book that both remains true to their vision and still conforms to the protocols of the publishing industry. Written with the intention of guiding and informing writers on their journey to publication, the book includes journaling exercises, tips on finding an agent and publisher, guidelines for writing query letters and proposals, a glossary of industry terms, and a comprehensive database that provides specifics on ''spirit-friendly'' publishers and agents. Friendly, humorous, and practical in tone, Spiritual Writing is much more than a ''how-to'' manual. It is also a captivating and motivating look at the spiritual life and the inspirational call to share one's peace joy, and wisdom with the world in writing.

Not only a teacher of pastoral theology but also an experienced pastoral counselor herself, Hunsinger draws on the resources of depth psychology, including object relations theory, trauma theory, family systems theory, nonviolent communication, and restorative circles.
