My Publishing Journey:

My first experience with a publishing house was little over 20 years ago. It was not the exhilarating experience I was expecting, and nothing like what I had been told by my professions and mentors at that time. After a few years my second opportunity to publish presented itself and even though the publisher was different, the whole experience and outcome left a lot to be desired. I was so disappointed in all aspects of the process.

I had almost given up my dream to become an author when shortly after an article I wrote appeared in "Vision Magazine" in 2006. A few weeks thereafter I was reading my emails and noticed one unlike all the rest. It was an invitation to contact Author House and discuss my publishing goals. I was both hesitant and skeptical but today, I am very glad that I responded. This process from the beginning to the end has been a very pleasant experience. Every department, from evaluating of the manuscript, proofreading, going over publishing options, cover design, copyrighting, promotion has been a wonderful cooperative venture. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They don't pressure you into purchasing optional services, they just let you know what's available and allow you to make decisions in keeping with your goals. They keep you well informed and involved. I personally have been quite happy with the process and the results are amazing.

I look forward to continuing with this publishing partnership, as I plan to publish again and Author House is the publisher for ME!

Marci Tilghman Bryant is a gifted teacher, mentor and enthusiast when it comes to spreading the “good news” gospel. She loves people because she loves the Lord. As she states, “in the word of God it says, “you will know them by their love”…them, referring to those who belong to the family of God. She is the Director of BVT Outreach Ministries founded in 1994 in Delaware.

Her very own life experiences have taught her that we should live everyday in gratitude, love and mercy; while developing that inward personality to its state of holiness. There are three scriptural references that are near and dear to her heart and she consistently chooses to live by them. They are Psalm 56:13, “thou has delivered my soul from death, will not thou deliver my feet from falling that I may walk before God in the light of the living?”; Luke 6:38, “Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, shall men give unto your bosom”; and lastly but certainly not the least, Psalm 118:17, “ I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord!”

She believes that we should live our lives to the extent possible that when we look back our regrets are few and our accomplishments are many, no matter how latent or small. While her credentials and accomplishments are quite impressive, she derives her greatest joy by helping others grow, reaching that place and person in life that God created them to be.
