00:06:17 leslie: Thanks! 00:07:21 leslie: I didn't have a problem. I opened it in Adobe. 00:07:39 Lila Diller: I didn't have a problem either 00:08:08 Lila Diller: A thunderstorm just rolled in, so if I get cut off, I'll come back to watch the recording. 00:08:27 Carlton Hughes: That's fine. Stay safe! 00:08:50 Sally Shupe: Lila, we're having one too! My dog is shaking and panting. 00:09:04 Lila Diller: Aww, poor thing! :( 00:09:51 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: Hello from France, night time here ! 00:10:55 Marcy Baugh: The future’s so bright, you gotta wear shades!! 00:13:50 Yvonne MacKay: Love the indoors! I love this! 00:14:25 leslie: I hear ya! I never had written them either...until a project with Worthy/Ellie Claire came along. I had the opportunity to write, and I said "yes" before even thinking! Definitely a God-thing! 00:15:19 leslie: Your story sounds just like mine (contracted for ten, short deadline). 00:16:36 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: That’s it 00:16:52 leslie: Wow! I'm in Just Breathe, too! 00:17:07 leslie: Congrats,. Your journey has given me hope! 00:17:16 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: In nature though… 00:19:50 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: I love to teach children too, they have such an open heart for Jesus 00:24:19 nancykaygrace: Great places for ideas! Lord, open my eyes to see your hand at work in everyday life. 00:24:55 Lila Diller: I started writing fiction 4 years ago and just recently in the past 2 months started writing devotions. 00:25:27 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: I guess so, I see now God has already provided the training…8 years of fiction writing ! 00:26:14 Sally Shupe: I share devotions on my blog. These mechanics will come in handy! 00:30:07 Sally Shupe: How long should devotions be? 00:30:38 Cynthia Stroop: Sally Shupe, good question! 00:30:41 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: Do editors give their guidelines ? 00:30:41 Gail Johnson: I have to go, but I will watch the replay. Great class, Carlton. 00:31:07 Christy Fuller: You were the LEAST bossy teacher I ever had! lol 00:31:47 Marcy Baugh: Can you address how we can use writing devotionals as a step toward larger writings? Like giving short snippets of a larger life story as devotionals? And how does publishing and copywriting play into this? 00:32:06 leslie: Isabelle, when I submitted, there basic guidelines, such as word count. Some places assign verses, etc. From what I've seen, it varies. 00:33:14 Suzanne Baginskie: Are devotions written in first person? 00:33:35 leslie: I just finished mine and am getting ready to pitch it. 00:35:56 leslie: Just finished my proposal, and I agree. 00:36:52 Janis Van Keuren: I agree! Proposals are difficult! Hair-raising.! 00:37:00 Ann Boyles: ?? What are the rules about using versions of the Bible, like the NIV, which is copyrighted? 00:37:26 Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor: I don't see a one sheet? 00:37:27 Lila Diller: I'm not seeing the 1-sheet 00:37:31 Tracy Crump: I'm not seeing the one sheet. 00:37:32 nancykaygrace: Where is the 1 sheet? 00:37:41 tabethamcmonagle: I am not seeing it. 00:37:45 Anne Rauth: I can't see it either 00:37:50 Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor: Can't see 1 sheet 00:37:53 Janis Van Keuren: Not seeing it either 00:38:13 Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor: now we see 00:38:14 leslie: There it is 00:38:22 Janis Van Keuren: Yes 00:38:25 tabethamcmonagle: Thank you! 00:39:48 nancykaygrace: Is a one sheet front and back sides, or just one side? 00:40:05 Tracy Crump: Just front 00:40:14 nancykaygrace: thanks! 00:41:15 Tracy Crump: What program did you use to create your one sheet? 00:41:39 Cynthia Stroop: Great question, Tracy! 00:41:51 Lila Diller: I used Canva for mine 00:42:21 Linda Williford: How long are the samples? 00:43:11 Tracy Crump: In this case, he's talking about sample devotions. So whatever length you envision for your book's devotions. 00:43:16 Sally Shupe: I was thinking about a collection of devotions relating to needing encouragement. With Need Encouragement? as the title, written upside down, and then at the bottom, Get This! 00:43:17 Renee Lee: Would either you are Tracy be willing to read some pages from a devotional? If so, how many pages and what would you charge? 00:47:07 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: Well, I live in France… That won’t do for me to travel the world to conferences 00:47:09 leslie: Oh, great idea! I'll have to remember that for my next book. 00:47:32 Janis Van Keuren: Love that spreadsheet idea! 00:47:48 Yvonne MacKay: For sure! 00:48:30 Anne Rauth: Who would be a good agent to contact about representing you for devotional material? 00:49:24 Lila Diller: If I remember right, the agents on the panel last night said they weren't looking for devotionals right now. But someone correct me, if I'm wrong. 00:49:40 Crystal & Victoria: From Victoria: Can you make the spreadsheet one of your handouts? It would be helpful. 00:49:46 leslie: Lila, oh no :( I'm sorry to hear that. 00:50:23 Renee Lee: Tamera Kraft said she would take them! 00:50:40 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: I « met » online Tracy on Tuesday… Great insight 00:50:44 Janis Van Keuren: Tracy is awesome! And so is her newsletter! 00:51:35 Janis Van Keuren: I would love a copy of your spreadsheet,too 00:53:44 Cindy Daniels: Do you know anything about Devotional calendars? 00:55:28 Janis Van Keuren: How can we get your one sheet? 00:55:53 leslie: @Janis Van Keuren, he has a link at the top of the chat that's a pdf you can download 00:57:11 Sally Shupe: My chat doesn't go back that far. Can the link to the pdf of the one sheet be reshared? 00:57:35 Janis Van Keuren: I went to the top of the chat and I don't see it? 00:58:03 nancykaygrace: I started writing devotions in a month newsletter. When I had enough, I pitched the idea for a book. The seed ideas were already written. The book got published. 00:59:20 Janis Van Keuren: Do we really need to call the company for permission to use their Scriptures in our book? 01:01:34 Marcy Baugh: Follow up with the question of using devotionals as small snippets of larger writing: if we are working on a life story, and realize many of the stories could be devotionals, is it possible/recommended to “self publish” in blogs to get a feel for reader responses before doing the larger story? 01:01:42 Renee Lee: Would either you are Tracy be willing to read some pages from a devotional? If so, how many pages and what would you charge? 01:02:11 nancykaygrace: I wrote a devotional book, and wrote to the publisher of the NIV. They specified I needed to use the 2011 version, not 1984 version. 01:02:20 Cynthia Stroop: Different publishers of Bibles will provide on their websites usually how to credit their publication when quoting scriptures. 01:02:31 Tracy Crump: Let's talk with Carlton. How can we best connect? 01:03:34 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: I cling to my NIV bought in 1986… hooo 01:05:20 nancykaygrace: Thanks, Carlton for good info! 01:05:51 Valorie: Great session Carlton, thank you! 01:06:32 Anne Rauth: Thank you very much for this information! 01:07:11 Cynthia Stroop: Thomas Nelson's permissions page: thomasnelson.com/about-us/permissions/ 01:07:21 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: Good, as it isn’t easy to get an agent when you’re in France… 01:07:47 Sherida: Thank you for the great information, Carlton! 01:08:58 Cynthia Stroop: For NASB go to www.lockman.org/tlf/copyright.php 01:09:24 tabethamcmonagle: Is it still frozen? 01:09:36 tabethamcmonagle: Or is it just me? 01:10:30 leslie: Perhaps he can just comment on here as to whether or not your Fatherhood book was contracted per devo like Just Breathe, since he was cut off answering it. 01:10:41 Janis Van Keuren: This has been an extremely beneficial workshop for me! Thank you so much, Carlton and Tracy! 01:11:22 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: It will be 2 AM in France, I’ll try to make it ! 01:11:28 Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor: Thank you Carlton 01:11:41 Kelly Richards: thank you Carlton 01:11:42 leslie: Isabelle, it'll be recorded so you can watch the video. 01:11:45 leslie: Thanks, Carlton! 01:11:46 Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor: Wow! Isabelle-Louisa 01:12:24 Cindy Daniels: I've heard that if you publish your blog, you're already considered published. Is that right? 01:12:45 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: Yes but the live zoom is rich, as part of a real community bound by heart 01:13:09 leslie: Lots of places I've spoken to won't publish if it's been on your blog. 01:13:31 Sally Shupe: So true Isabelle-Louisa! This has been great! 01:13:50 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: What is devotions are meaningful in a novel ? 01:14:24 Janis Van Keuren: I am truly blessed! 01:14:26 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: Thank you Carlton & team ! 01:14:34 leslie: Thanks, everyone! 01:15:05 Cynthia Stroop: Thank you everyone!
