Subscriber has first writing success

One of Portable Writing Newsletter's subscribers has just been offered a twice-monthly column in a Southwest Texas newspaper. He has also approached his first national magazine with a query letter proposing an article, and as part of his creative writing class at Sul Ross University, his manuscript of a research/interview piece is being submitted to Oprah Magazine. In addition, his essay will be published in my upcoming history book.

A former Prosecutor for the Buffalo New York Adult Drug Treatment Court and an ordained minister, Rev. Barry Zavah has been inspired to spread his creative wings while taking the creative writing class while he's in the Big Bend area of Texas for the winter.

For those of you wanting to get published, take a class, meet with other writers (published or not), or read an encouraging book on getting published. Whatever it takes to get you inspired to jump into the writing arena--do it today. You'll be glad you did!
