It\u2019s part of the magic\u2014the awe\u2014the fascination of a new year that it stretches out before us, as pure and trackless as an unbroken blanket of snow.<\/p>\n
A year from now . . . where do you WANT to be?<\/p>\n
Is that an easier, or a harder, question to answer? Today, at the very beginning of January, I want to share some of my goals for 2024. I want to share them because they\u2019re not just goals for me. They\u2019re goals for us<\/em>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been fascinated, recently, by looking at writing as a partnership\u2014a joint endeavour in which both author and reader play a vital part.<\/p>\n As I look forward to our world, twelve months from now, this is where I hope we<\/em> will be. But first, a little word about who \u201cwe\u201d actually is.<\/p>\n First and foremost\u2014once-upon-a-time\u2014SAW Publishing was created for you.<\/p>\n You, the mom who feels like \u201cbusy\u201d is a gross understatement of your hectic life.<\/p>\n You, the home-educator desperate to give your growing students the best literary diet that\u2019s out there, in an ever-swelling wilderness of junk-food books.<\/p>\n You, the passionate Christian, longing for passionately Christian books\u2014but feeling lost and alone in your quest for reading material that really matters.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At SAW Publishing we\u2014and that means both of us!\u2014believe in the power of amazing books. Putting high-quality, spiritually motivating fiction into the hands of the next generation of Christian heroes and heroines is our mission.<\/p>\n By the end of 2024, we want to be your go-to resource for trustworthy assistance navigating the increasingly-complex world of children\u2019s\/YA fiction.<\/p>\n We want you to feel comfortable handing our monthly short stories over to your growing readers.<\/p>\n And yes, we want our novels to be on your raider when you sit down to make your gift list for Christmas 2024! We are committed to producing the first-class, Christ-centred blog content to get you there.<\/p>\n Up above I just admitted that SAW Publishing was first created, not so much for you, as for your mom.<\/p>\n That\u2019s true\u2014and yet, in another way, the person who stands at the very core of our identity has always been you<\/em>.<\/p>\n You, the girl on the verge of womanhood, with the time and the passion and the voracious appetite to devour books like you\u2019ve never devoured them before.<\/p>\n You, the girl just waking up to the amazing responsibility that comes with the power to choose and to read.<\/p>\n You, the girl longing for a fellow-reader to tell you you\u2019re not on your own in the journey towards books that can shape your destiny.<\/p>\n At SAW Publishing we\u2014and that still means both of us!\u2014believe that life-changing literature is for every reader. We want every Christian girl to know from personal experience that clean, passionate, inspiring books do exist\u2014and that they have the power to redefine our generation.<\/p>\n By the end of 2024, we want our short story releases to be one of your monthly highlights.<\/p>\n We want our behind-the-scenes access to have connected you to an exciting new fandom.<\/p>\n Most of all, we want you to know you\u2019re not alone in your quest for books that honour God\u2014and that keep you excited and enthusiastic along the way.<\/p>\n We are committed to producing the engaging, Christ-centred blog content to get you there.<\/p>\n By the end of 2024, that\u2019s where I want us to be.<\/p>\n Passionately pursuing life-changing literature.<\/p>\n Together.<\/p>\n Are you on board? With God\u2019s blessing, it\u2019s going to be an incredible ride!<\/p>\n I\u2019d love to hear your individual\/reading-related goals for the coming year.
