Abbigail B. asked Karen Witemeyer:

Hi Mrs. Witemeyer!! First off, I absolutely LOVE your books! They've given me so much joy in the last few years and I've become more of a fan of Westerns. Thank you for writing them! My question is, would you consider reading my Christian Western novella? I understand if you're unable to do it if you have your own reading and writing projects on the go; I just figured I'd ask. Thanks and God bless!

Karen Witemeyer Hi, Abbigail. Thank you for your sweet words. :-) I'm delighted that you have enjoyed my books so well. And how exciting that you are writing your own! That's so fun!

I'm honored that you have asked me to read it. Putting your work out there for others to see takes courage and a willingness to learn--two aspects essential for a successful writing journey.

I'm afraid that between working a full-time day job and writing full-time, I don't have time to read additional manuscripts. However, there is a writing contest for unpublished authors going on right now through the group Faith, Hope, and Love Christian Writers. (fhl-cw.com) The Touched By Love (TBL) contest is open through August 1. This would be a great way to get feedback on your novella and to possibly get it in front of an editor. As long as your story has a romance thread, it would be eligible. I hope you enter!
