The Presbyterian Writers Guild board met by conference call October 24 and elected two new board members and a corporate agent.

New board member Anita Coleman is a writer and former university professor living in Southern California. She maintains several blogs, including Eyes on Christ, and is the author of numerous books and devotional materials. She also has written articles for The Writer about social media and the church.

Todd Jenkins, another new board member, is pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, Tennessee. His book Tuesday’s Muse was a runner up for this year’s Best First Book award, presented by the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation and the Presbyterian Writers Guild.

The new corporate agent for PWG is Ann Rehfeldt, who has been doing writing and communications full-time for Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago for 15 years. She replaces Kathy Bostrom, who will be unable to continue in the post because she is moving to California. The corporate agent is required to be a resident of Illinois. Bostrom will continue as a member of the PWG board.
