Want to Write for Us?

We are happy to announce a change in this blog. From now on, you can write the reviews on great books that you want posted on this blog and we will publish them. Here's how it works:

You decide that you want everyone to know about a book that you think we all can't live without reading. So you write a review as best as you can. Then you send us the review at literaryinkbooks@gmail.com, and we look it over. If we think it needs to be a little more polished we will send it back to you with some thoughts and then you re-write it and send it to us. When we like your review we will publish it with your name on the bottom, and voila! You're famous! Well, okay not really, but a lot of cool stuff could happen.

First, you get to practise your writing skills. Second, if we like your style of writing, we will ask you to keep sending us reviews. So when we get big you can say that you have written articles for us and people will want to hire you like crazy.

This doesn't mean that Isaac, Sam, and I will stop writing. We will still write about half of the articles, we just want to write better and still write the same amount of articles. It also doesn't mean that you get to be part of our team. You will kind of be guest authors.

So you may be wondering about the picture at the top. If you write good reviews as a guest writer, if you can write them fast, and we like your personality, we might invite you to help coauthor Literaryink!

So get writing!

Welcoming our newest member

Ted and I are very happy to announce that our good friend Samuel Taylor, will be coauthoring Literaryink with us. Sam is a strong Christian who loves books and writing. He will be a valuable asset to our team. His first post will be published (Hopefully) in the next two weeks. We recruited him because we felt that we needed more writers so that our book reviews didn't have to be so rushed. We hope you will enjoy his reviews as much as we enjoy having him on the team. Thanks!

Spread Literaryink

If you are a reader of Literaryink, and you want to help people find it, then read on. Here are a few ways you can help.

Word of mouth. God gave us mouths for a reason. For eating and talking. There are other reasons, but those are the general ones. Though new technologies like the telephone, IM, email, and more have tried to replace talking, we must admit that talking is the easiest way to communicate. So tell people by talking to them. Family, Friends, Co-workers, Business people, etc. This is the most effective way of spreading the word.

Email. When Ted and I started Literaryink, we sent out an email blast to all our friends. We told them to check out our blog. Quite a few of them still read this blog. Try sending out an email to all your contacts, or at least the ones you feel comfortable with.

Blogosphere. Blogging has become very big over the past years. There are over 60 million blogs wordwide. If you have a blog, website, or Myspace, you can post about us there. Be sure to include a link. This angle is highly effective.

These are just a few ways you can spread Literaryink. We will post about more ways as they become available. Thank you for your support!

Ted, Isaac, and Sam

Commenting

The comment section on all the posts is for discussion about the books we review. We would ask that all critiquing and suggestions would be done over email. Please email us at: literaryinkbooks@gmail.com. We do appreciate your suggestions though. Thank you!

Dipping our Pens in the Inkwell

"He is inspired, and yet he wants books! He has seen the Lord, and yet he wants books! He has wider experience than most men, and yet he wants books! He had been caught up in the third heaven, and heard things unlawful for a man to utter, and yet he wants books! He has written and major part of the New Testament, and yet he wants books! The apostle says to Timothy and so he says to every Christian, "Give thyself to reading." The man who never reads will never be read; He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who does not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves he has no brains of his own--- Charles Spurgeon

This quote describes the kind of readers Ted and I are. We love books. This blog, we hope, will be a place for you who love to read to be able to come and find edifying, God-glorifying books. If any of you have suggestions of great books please email us at: literaryinkbooks@gmail.com. The reason we say "great" books is because, as a wise friend advised, "there are too many "good" books out there". We want to shine light on the very best material so that you can make the most of your reading.

Literaryink

You may be wondering, "Why in the world did you make Literaryink?" Good question. One that has a good answer.
Literaryink was created because we were interested in writing about encouraging books we had read and wanted to share them with our friends. Our purpose is to reveal "great" books that help people in some way. The reason why we say "great" is because there are too many "good" books out there. We want to bring you the very best. We won't be writing about the automobile encyclopedia, but we will talk about the books of famous men and women who influenced us. While you read our posts we want you to know that we are all Christians and that will heavily influence the choice of books we write about.
