What COMPEL Pro members are saying:
“COMPEL Pro has helped me so much! It has improved my writing skills and has taught me how to write in the field, beside the reader, and so much more.”
Alexandra J.
“All the advice I have received from the Cohorts has been so helpful … I am more open to helpful criticism as I go through the writing process. And not just open but really seeking it, as they encouraged us to ‘fight for the reader’ at every step!! Thank you, COMPEL Pro!”
Lisa K.
“I am new to writing and specifically writing from a Christian perspective. Participating in the Cohort was a great way to start this journey, and having it in real time was helpful.”
Michelle J.
“I am receiving more confidence and encouragement to write and post. I’m learning from so many others that I am not alone in this endeavor and that God can and will use me according to His plans and purposes. I shouldn’t allow my preconceived notions of writing success or failure dissuade me from my ministry mission.”
