I've learned to view similar books/authors differently than when I started into publishing. Edie Melson once compared our work to being in a great chorus. The bigger the chorus, the more majestic and effective the sound. Every voice matters. But we sing together, because that is how the church is supposed to operate. Now I'm just grateful to be on the team!! And I can wholeheartedly support my sisters and brothers in their publishing victories. Thanks for this insightful post!Julie Zine Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929069403684878757noreply@blogger.com
