The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck
"I was pretty sure it would take many, many years to catch the eye of a traditional publishing house, if I ever did! I didn’t have an agent, I was completely unknown, and I’d written a Christian romantic comedy which was heavy in pop culture references and real-life messy faith. I wasn’t sure where I fit. Well, apparently I fit at Writer’s Edge! I was contacted by Revell Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group, thirteen days after my submission was accepted by Writer’s Edge.
The dream I was preparing to spend years chasing began to become reality in less than two weeks, because of Writer’s Edge. The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck will be published by Revell in October 2017 — pop culture references, messy faith, and all."

Love's Reckoning
"After realizing how difficult it was to get an agent, I submitted to the Writer’s Edge. The day after my work was posted, two major publishing houses asked to see a portion of my historical fiction novel. Although this didn’t pan out, two more major publishers contacted me as well as several smaller houses. I realized then how well respected the Writer’s Edge is in the publishing industry.
Within 9 months I had a 3-book contract with Revell/Baker Publishing Group. If not for the professionalism of this wonderful service, I’m sure I would still be spending fruitless hours trying to find an agent and break into the market. The editor who reviewed my work provided the encouragement I needed to keep going, and everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and in a timely manner. I recommend this service to everyone pursuing publication. I’m so thankful for all that the Writer’s Edge has done for me. My first novel, The Frontiersman’s Daughter, was released August 1, 2009. Hats off to a very valuable service!"

Band of Sisters
“After posting my book with Writer’s Edge I was contacted by three Christian publishers. Writer’s Edge has been responsive and professional in every way. Their evaluation was especially helpful in forming some of my later decisions re. promotion and target markets. I learned that entering the publishing world takes time. The process leading to a contract took several months, but posting with Writer’s Edge was my first step.”

A Short Walk To The Edge of Life
"I was grateful to discover the proposal from Scott Hubbartt at Writer’s Edge. I always review carefully the recommended proposals from Writer’s Edge, and it’s rare that I don’t find at least one that grabs my attention. The contribution of Writer’s Edge benefits all of us in publishing."
