Write Now

Whether writing is your ministry or your career—or both—courses from the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild can help you achieve your goals.

Choose your path (See our course map)

Each course we offer comes with a personal mentor—a working professional writer and editor—who encourages, instructs, and challenges you each step of the way. You’ll learn to submit like a professional, in the proper format.

It’s recommended you begin with Writing Essentials—a course that assumes your basic writing knowledge and serves as your introduction to professional writing. From there, adult students (in fiction or nonfiction) have a choice:

Strengthen your core

Build your career for the long-term with our Apprentice, Journeyman, and Craftsman courses.

Lay a firm foundation in both fiction and nonfiction in Apprentice. Then, choose one path and proceed to Journeyman and Craftsman, delving deeper into the craft, nurturing your passion, commitment, and creativity.

Select a tighter focus
