Fellowship of Christian Writers began with a handful of writers in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area in 1979. We are men and women, sharing a love for Jesus and talents for verbal expression, joining together for encouragement, education, and fellowship. Our goal is to equip and encourage writers to follow their God-given dreams of putting words to paper. Whether writing for the religious or secular market, writing articles or novels, or writing news, features, devotionals, poetry, scripts, and essays, writers have a special calling to deliver well-crafted words to their readers. Our purpose is to provide mentoring and instruction; share skills; offer kindly criticism; supply information on markets, contests, and conferences; share prayer needs, and be inspired and encouraged by fellow writers. Our desire is that our written words always reflect Christ and glorify God.
“The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it.”
Psalm 68:11

September Meeting
Discussion Panel | “Breaking into the Publishing Industry: Networking”

SEPTEMBER
2026
Networking (taking steps to interact) with publishing professionals is one of the ways Christian writers can break into publishing. Ever wonder how seasoned professionals network? Maybe you’d like tips on how to network, when to network, and gaining the peace to network. Now is your chance to learn more! Join us for an interactive discussion with three of our FCW published authors: Cheryl Barker, Meagan Briggs, and Kristi Woods. Our discussion moderator, Melissa Coursen, will help us explore questions and look to our panelists for their answers and experiences. Come ready with your questions for this fantastic time of learning and fellowship. The Zoom link will be posted in our private Facebook group for paid members. If you’re not yet a member and would like to attend as a visitor or by Zoom (you can do this twice before joining), email our president, Cheryl Barker, at cheryl (at) cherylbarker (dot) net.
We hope to see you there!
