Poetry Scout - Centre Ministry
Greetings from the Ministry Director,

I've been writing poetry since 1980 and have traveled in several parts of the world writing several different styles of poetry that are spiritually derived from my belief in God.  I'm published in self-published books, anthology books, circulating periodicals, and Christian Writers' Market Guide.   Our Ministry is a proprietorship business that seeks the help of other inspired poets who are interested in developing their talent in a theme anthology book. This is a Christian based business that pools inspired poetic authors together in a publishing contract that offers book publication involving poetical theme writing.  The vision for this ministry is to establish a base camp of poets and develop their writings in a partnership subsidized cost share book publication.   

A partnership means that each author who is involved is part owner of the publishing contract and can be entitled to sharing of the profit and losses as specified under a legally binding partnership contract.   Partnership contracting is more than a contract between people who write any style of poetry, it is the idea of Christian poets coming together in the body of love to form a purposeful team concept.  Poets faith testimony will be expressed in theme of how they convey their love for God through inspired poetry of times spent in the past with the Creator of the universe.

This concept of a body of believers writing poetry for the edification of the Church and to bring glory to our God is a concept you can put your trust in.   To get to the point of partnership each author is required to word process a 10-page manuscript that meets the standards of this Ministry.   To press toward the mark of publication it is vital to know the right publisher and there are three questions to ask when considering a publisher:  Will the publisher publish my writings in a book?  Will the publisher market and sale my book?  Can I afford the cost of the book within the contents of the contract?  You can with our publisher who will publish, market, and sale in merchant stores and on the web a quality published book.  Our business has the solution to affording the cost of publishing.

Partnership cost share publishing is for each talented author who are willing to use their ability to work hand and hand toward the same goal in mind.  Partnerships are formed as a help ministry and like-minded authors have the potential of helping each other to succeed.  Partnership critiques are vital and can be carefully done to ensure that the collective manuscript submitted for publishing meets or exceeds the standards of the Publisher.   The responsibility for each book to sale lies within the partnership and the involvement of 20 authors in the selling process will directly affect potential profit.  To learn more about our Ministry and our Publisher who will market and sale books at a subsidized price click on the
