Show Notes:15. Drew Dyck — An Acquisition Editor’s Advice for New Authors

Drew knows his way around the Christian publishing industry, working as an editor, in acquisitions, and authoring his own books and articles.

We were able to talk about his role in acquiring ministry oriented books as well as his advice for authors. Drew sees hundreds of proposals and is tasked with finding and developing the best projects. His experience and advice are proven. Drew believes in the value of pastors writing and has some great advice for young writers.

Drew and his wife Grace live in Portland, Oregon with their son, Athanasius, and daughter Mary.

Author's Books

  • Free hotdog night. Will did damage and the cardinals won in extra innings.
  • Last day and the best cup of Turkish coffee.
  • Cave churches in Cappadocia where some of the oldest monastic communities lived. Also the homes of the Cappadocian fathers and mothers.
  • People think if the ancient world as white marble but most of the statues and buildings we see would have been brightly painted. On some of these walls and reliefs you can still see the original colors. The ancient Roman world would probably have been gaudy to our tastes.
  • More from Istanbul. Water cisterns, Constantine’s column, and the blue mosque.
  • Ancient Nicaea where the first church council was held in 325. We were there on the 1700s anniversary of Constantine’s arrival and the beginning of deliberations.
  • We were visiting the church at the residence of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and he found out we were a group of Protestant scholars going to Nicaea for the anniversary and invited us into his residence to greet us. He spoke and gave us all crosses. Not on your typical Istanbul itinerary.
  • Spent the day in Istanbul. On tomorrow to Nicaea.
  • A few more sites in Turkey. Today, I head to Istanbul.

I’m spending this week with a group of professors touring the sites of the seven churches of revelation in modern Turkey. I’ve learned a ton and been amazed by the scale and complexity of these Roman cities.
