Hi Liz, thank you! Are you looking for new material or can it be published already here on Substack?

Great question Brooke. Published already is fine - here on Substack or anywhere else that allows for it!

Ok, sounds good! I’m finishing up some guest posts and taking a bit of a social media break in July (this writing thing has just taken off and caught me off guard, in the best of ways, and kept me BUSY!) All that to say, I’d love to send a devotional over to you in August/September timeframe per your guidelines. Thank you for the opportunity!

This is so lovely, Liz and helpful! I’d love to write a devotional but not sure I’m ready. I’ll pray about it. Thank you for giving me spiritual food for thought. I also loved your devotional on joy taking root. Beautiful imagery. It spoke to my heart ♥️

This is such a generous and practical guide—thank you, Liz! I love how you grounded the process in prayer and presence, and still made the steps feel totally doable for new writers. “One Scripture. One theme. One takeaway.” That clarity alone is a gift.

Also deeply appreciated the reminder that joy, like fruit, doesn’t ripen overnight—it grows through light, pruning, and care. Such a beautiful metaphor for writing itself.

Grateful for your guidance and spirit of encouragement. Bookmarking this one!
