WRITING AUDITIONS…for “The Kitchen Table”




Ladies, “The Kitchen Table” is accepting writing auditions for a couple of guest spots each month. If you would like to be a guest at our table please see the guidelines below:

Audition blogs are to be no longer than 900 words and no less than 650 words. This does not include your title and salutation. Any submission over the limit is automatically disqualified. We will be using Microsoft Word Count.

We suggest that if you have not been reading our blogs on a regular bases that you read at least a month of blogs to see the flavor of how we write at “The Kitchen Table”.

Our Mission Statement: The Kitchen Table is a daily blog comprised of Christian Women focusing on the common threads that we as women all share and experience. As Daughters of the Most High our mission is to encourage and inspire our Sisters to forge on and faint not in the every day struggles of life.

“The Kitchen Table” is a ministry and those who write for it, do so as a gift to God.

Things to keep in mind when writing:
Our blog is going to countries such as Norway, Australia, UK, Canada, Viet Nam, Philippines, Spain, Trinidad, Belgian, Dubai, Portugal, Mexico, Venezuela, Twain, and Copenhagen, just to name a few, and so we must keep in mind (if you are an American) that we are not just writing to Americans and the American culture. We are writing to our sisters in the Lord, about the common struggles that women have no matter what your race or culture.

Please no preaching and Christian denominational views of thinking. Our common thread is Jesus Christ, His death and Resurrection which bought us life everlasting. Do not use a lot of Bible verses or references. Reason being, people will not read them.

The best way to inspire others with the Love of God is to talk about yourself and the things He has done with the problems in your life. Because there is no problem that any of us have experienced that is not “common unto man”.

Your words should encourage, give hope, be humorous, informative, or food for thought on change. If your blog does not hit at least one of these criteria, please rethink what you have written and why.

Please do not use poems unless they are your own, and if submission is more poem than blog it will automatically be disqualified. “The Kitchen Table” blog site is not a forum for anyone to promote their website, blog, ministry or business.

Catagories:
Homeschooling, Health & Beauty, Family, Life Unscripted, Single Moms, Single Women, Adoptive Parents, Parents of Special Needs Children, Working Women, Stay at home Moms, Struggles of the Married Women, Caregivers, Parenting, Grand Parenting and Teenage life.
Please: No blogs on Easter.

Final Steps:
Send submissions to: thekitchentable2010@yahoo.com, put “Audition” in subject.

No attachments permitted: Please copy and paste your audition piece into the “Body” of your email. Do not attach! Due to the many different computer systems it is not always possible to open attachments. CC: Yourself to make sure everything comes through properly.

Please Allow 2 - 3 weeks for notification that your blog has been accepted. At that time you will be notified of the next step of when your blog will be posted. At this time you will requested to provide a phone number.

The sisters at the table are very excited about the auditions and what God has in store for us. We have many readers that are great writers and have a lot to offer in helping us keep each other encouraged and we can’t wait to read what you have to say.




Blessings and love to you all.
Ponnie, Ministry Leader
