Portals of Prayer - Writing For Portals

Writing For Portals

Writers are recruited each year in the Fall through recommendations, invitation made to previous writers, and application. Guidelines for writing samples can be downloaded from the publisher's information page (see external links below). Prospective author's writing apart from these samples is never accepted for review by the editorial committee. While often members of the LCMS, past authors have been selected from both clergy and lay among Lutherans in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Britain. Writers are selected based upon their demonstrated ability to write in a clear and engaging style while demonstrating a keen ability to proclaim the Gospel of God's love and mercy in the person and work of Jesus Christ as presented in Holy Scripture and confessed in the Confessions of the Lutheran Church (Book of Concord, 1580).
