Lds

[close] A group intended primarily for finding and discussing literary works about Latter-day Saints and the Mormon faith. Some works will be included that are not topically Mormon but are by LDS authors, and there will be some works by non- or former-Mormons about the LDS experience. This group is not intended for general discussion of Mormon religious beliefs, except as these are incidental to literary study. Since the Mormon literary experience includes the study and appreciation of certain non-LDS authors (such as John Milton or C.S. Lewis), such will be included as influences.

[close] Ask me anything about writing, publishing for the first time, breast cancer (I'm going through treatment now) or the book (my favorite subject!) Thanks!

[close] I am starting this group so people can share there books and ideas.

[close] This group is for anyone who is a number (friend) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A place where we can discuss Latter-day Saints books, uplifting and spiritual topics. Dennis Schleicher is an LDS literary agent, currently the president for the "Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association." Best-selling author of; “Is He Nuts?: Why a Gay Man Would Become a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ.” Public speaker, specializing in devotionals and social media marketing with the LDS church. Dennis’s relationship with many acquisition editors, Cedar Fort, Deseret Books, and many others gives him a unique inside. Dennis is the first to specialize as an LDS literary agent, willing to work with all. I am looking for unique ideas from writers. As the market has changed, so has many of the demands on the author. Your project has to be more than an extended magazine article. It has to have something unique that will make the publisher jump at the chance to invest in you and your work. It can be your platform. It can be the power of your idea. It can be that your writing is noteworthy and compelling. And if you can bring all three, I’m confident we could find you a publishing house. What will set you apart? What makes you established as a “Thought Leader,” in your genre? Excepting queries for the following genres; Biography, Christian living, children's books, church life, devotional, inspirational, LGBTQ, theology, bible study, reference, health, finance, fiction, self-help, psychology, grief, suffering, marriage, family, women’s, men’s, philosophy, history, social issues, parenting, clean romance, latter-Day Saints, LDS and Mormonism. The subjects are vast and the opportunities endless. Keep it uplifting.
