Paper Pulpit

I am often asked, “How did you get your articles published in a newspaper?”

The answer, “I read my Facebook (FB) comments.”

Let me explain. I called an FB friend who commented on one of my Christmas posts. He said, ‘Call me’ followed by his telephone number … I called!

This friend coordinates writers for “Paper Pulpit” in the Faith section of  The Gadsden (Alabama) Times. He told me to expand one of my posts and email it to him. My first article was published in the online and print editions in February 2014. My articles continue being published—when I have sense enough to write and send them!

Maybe one day I will branch out and send articles to other newspapers.
