Draw Near is currently accepting submissions for a new free ebook. The theme is blessings and curses. Please submit nonfiction testimonies (between 500-2,000 words) rendered in great detail. Ideally, your submission will include at least some dialogue and a descriptive setting. Everyone is welcome to submit. Only quality writing that relates to the theme will be considered. Feel free to use creative interpretations of blessings and/or curses.

Carefully read the following guidelines before submitting.

1. Email your short story to songofsolomon8@outlook.com. Submit in the body of the email or as an attachment (.doc, .docx, .pdf). Avoid using special fonts and formats (such as centering, italics, etc). Include the title and “by” line in the email. (A pen name is okay.)
2. You may include a short biography (optional). If your work is selected, Draw Near will share your bio in a blog. The bio must be in third person and consist of no more than three sentences. One link to your personal website or social media is acceptable. Avoid using ebook related brands such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, or Nook. (The name that appears in your “by” line should be identical to the name in your bio.)
3. New or old writings will be accepted. Draw Near will accept work that you have published on the internet (on your website or a public forum). However, we are not interested in manuscripts that have already been accepted for publication by other publishers. Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Please notify us immediately if your writing is accepted elsewhere.
4. You are welcome to submit multiple writings; however, it is unlikely that more than one writing will be selected.
5. The deadline is January 31, 2021.
6. Unfortunately, you will not be paid for your submission. Please submit only if you wish to glorify God and help others draw near to Christ. All submissions will be considered and acknowledged. However, Draw Near will only accept quality writing that adheres to these guidelines for publication.
