SPOTLIGHT!

HELLO, HELLO, AND WELCOME! Hopefully you can take some of that overbubbling energy and use it to get you through these LOOOONNNNG and very brown and gray winter months. (Unless you live in Florida, known as the Sunshine State… Man I miss the sunshine.) 

Anyway, on to the real subject of this blog post (completely ignoring the fact I don’t know how to write a spotlight)… There’s this little community out there on the internet called Writers’ Vision, started by a lovely gal by the name of Kaytlin Phillips. 

Now before I info dump all the wonderful links and bios (I think that’s what you do in a spotlight), let me share about ye-old-writing-days of yesteryear when I was… *thinks* goodness-knows-how-old…But a new writer all the same. I started writing a book… It was okay, it did alright, BUT whenever I got together with my good friend Sarah Twilight we would WRITE. AND WE WOULD WRITE HUNDREDS OF BRILLIANT WORDS! Point is… if it weren’t for my one writing friend I wouldn’t have gotten halfway though my book, and if it weren’t for my writer’s group chat I wouldn’t have made it to the end, and if it weren’t for all the encouragement I’ve received WE ALL KNOW I WOULDN’T BE HERE TODAY. Because humans are very fickle and easily distracted creatures. 

WHICH IS WHY… (feeling a lot of sunshiny energy this evening) I am so excited about Writers’ Vision. 

This is a community, we NEED community. We need it very badly. Without someone (even if it’s just one person who clicks with you) to help you, encourage you, and critique you… Chances are you won’t get very far. Self-motivation and ambition can only take you so far. And chances are you won’t see the flaws in your work… It won’t be the best it can be without a friend to take you aside and tell you about the ways you can improve. 

We were made to communicate, we were made to fellowship, and we were made to have friends and people who we can invest time into. 

And Writers’ Vision is a Christian community dedicated to this, and a bunch of other awesome and amazing things. But enough of my rambling, you’ve gotta hear it for yourself. So without further ado, please thoroughly enjoy this info dump! 

Writers’ Vision is…

Writers’ Vision is a community where Christian creatives can connect and receive feedback, advice, encouragement, and even form friendships. Originally started in 2021 as a writers’ critique site, Writers’ Vision has expanded to include creatives of all levels! From authors to bloggers and even editors! Whether it is a community you are looking for or simply encouragement and advice, Writers’ Vision is here to help!

Our Community space where we share bits of our stories is open to a wide variety of genres and is for making your manuscript what you envisioned it could be.

The Community is a place where authors and bloggers can receive Beta reading services from readers and fellow authors. But it’s not just another critique group, it is a friendship, a coming together for the benefit of all involved.

The Founder: Kaytlin Phillips

Hello, I’m Kaytlin!

A homeschool grad, blogger, influencer, and the author of the MG fantasy World of Silence, Co-Author with my sisters, Marisa and Jaiden, of the YA Fantasy series The Dragon Prince Chronicles, and have been featured in the Seize the Night Anthology.

I first discovered a love for writing at the age of seven when I plagiarized a Roy Roger’s film into my own book. Since then I’ve become more creative and write books of my own invention, which are usually stories of hope, purpose, and redemption.  More often than not you can find me with my nose in a book, whisked away to some fictional setting.

Through my stories I long to present the Savior and His overwhelming love for us, I want everyone to know they are never too far gone for God to save them and that everyone has a purpose!
