Authors Among Us!

by Meredith Efken

I got back Sunday from the American Christian Fiction Writers national conference. I had a great time–got to talk with my agent and my editor from Steeple Hill, as well as spend time with dear friends and make fabulous new friends. I’ll be posting some pictures and stories of the conference over the coming weeks.

But one of the highlights of the conference for me was when Barbour Publishing announced two new contracts being given to first-time ACFW authors. This is a tradition they started several years ago, and it’s always fun to be able to actually see the moment someone finds out they are going to become a published author.

This year, one of the recipients was unable to attend. By now, I’m sure she’s been notified, so I’m going to spread the good news here on this blog.

I’m very pleased to announce that our own Vasthi Acosta will be having a novella published in an upcoming Barbour novella anthology! I wasn’t able to catch the title of it, so I’ll have to let her post all the details herself.

I’m so proud of you, Vasthi! I know it’s been a lot of hard work and study to reach this point, and I hope and pray that it is only the start of a long and successful writing career.

Please take a moment and post a comment to celebrate Vasthi with me!
