Becca Avila asked Jerry B. Jenkins:

Mr. Jenkins, My name is Becca, I’m a young teenager. Currently young author Erin Hylands is compiling and editing an anthology about our identity in Christ. Myself and Erin are on The Young Writers Workshop. We are building the street team but launch day is January 14th, 2024. But we were wondering if you might be interested in writing a little introduction for the book? If you’re too busy we get it. Thank you!

Jerry B. Jenkins Sorry I'm just seeing this, Becca, but I do wish you all the best with your project. Unfortunately, my endorsement policy requires that I read a book in its entirety and, of course, like it, before endorsing. But it also requires that the book is contracted for with a traditional publishing house and not, in essence, self-published. Traditional publishing houses pay you, rather than the other way around, and thus manuscripts go through a vigorous vetting process before they're accepted.

Nonetheless, I applaud your zeal for and work on this and hope it has a wonderful impact.
