True BearingPress

For writers

Join our author community

Interested in writing, but don’t know where to start? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

The True Bearing Press Author Community is a small, private place online for Christian writers, from people who haven’t written a page yet to authors with books in print.

Conversations

Ask questions, share what you’re working on, and hear from other writers and from Bart, including advice on the editing process.

Polls

Get honest opinions on cover designs, titles and more. Any member can start a poll.

A growing library

Guides and checklists, plus links to good training on writing, design, self-publishing and marketing.

It’s free, and membership is by application so the community stays small and focused. If you’ve sent us a manuscript proposal, you don’t need to apply: your invitation came with our reply.

The questions below help us get to know you and plan what to talk about. Your answers stay with True Bearing Press; other members see only your name and what you post.

Community guidelines
  • Be kind, and be honest. Encouragement and candid feedback both help writers grow.
  • What members share stays in the community. Don’t copy or pass along someone else’s writing, pictures or cover designs without asking.
  • Keep conversations on writing, editing and publishing, and disagree charitably.
  • No selling or advertising. You’re welcome to tell us when your book comes out.
