    How exciting. What a fun giveaway.. awesome idea! I would love love to enter this. I am secretly entering my writing buddy 😉 Her name is TJ Ellis.. she is my best friend and has been since she was in 9th grade and I was blessed to be picked to be her writer in Biology. See my amazing friend has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair and can only use her fingers (a few of them) to type. But the thing about her is SHE IS AN AMAZING WRITER.. she writes all the time and is very gifted (she is also the most incredible prayer warrior you will ever have) I so want to win this so I can encourage her in her writing 🙂 And I would love a push in mine as this is a God-sized dream of mine. Blessings

    One of my dear friends, Holly, is a writing buddy in more than one way. We both dream of writing books and bounce ideas off each other. We also communicate multiple times each week in long, conversation-tone emails from hundreds miles apart. Both being writers, this works well for us and has kept us close despite the distances.

    I have more than one writing buddy–but Gretchen Louise is one of them. Trina Holden another. We are in a group of about 20 of us, but only few of us are writing eBooks (or attempting to!) 🙂

    Hi! I love how God connects…researching for my book I found you through Amazon. Enjoyed your writing. My writing buddy is Dana A. we are both writing our life stories with the goal to share encouragement, strength and hope. We could both use the help and support for our self publishing journey.

    Jamie Bowman confirmed for us to be writing buddies. However, she already has the book. Do I have to buy the 2 books?
