Christian Writers Fellowship International is a multi-service ministry to Christians in publishing. For 30 years we have encouraged and equipped writers to minister to readers with writing of the highest biblical and professional standards. We encourage them to make Jesus Christ - His love and gift of salvation - the centerpiece of every writing, teaching, and speaking opportunity. We urge them to use their writing and speaking gifts to do their part in fulfilling the Great Commission.
| Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. —ROMANS 10:18, NIV |

| Donna Clark Goodrich is a free-lance writer, editor, and proofreader. A native of Jackson, Michigan, she moved to Kansas City, Missouri at the age of 20 to work as secretary to the book editor at the Nazarene Publishing House. Typing a term paper for a seminary student led to her meeting her husband, Gary, whom she married in 1960. Now residents of Mesa, Arizona, they have three children and two granddaughters. Donna began the annual Arizona Christian Writers Seminar in 1982 which she led for seven years. She has also been instrumental in helping to form Christian writers clubs in many cities. The author of 20 books and over 700 articles and short stories, she is a frequent instructor at Christian writers conferences across the United States. Her latest book is the story of Dave Clark, her nephew and recent winner of the “ASCAP Living Legend Award.” Her greatest love is working with beginning writers and helping them to spread the gospel through the printed page.
