Behind the Story

From editorial director of features Ashley Hales: Most of the time, an editor’s inbox is full of pitches. While we all will take an interesting pitch from a new writer, most editors enjoy working with repeat writers. So when theologian and professor Kelly M. Kapic pitched me, I was looking forward to what he’d propose.

This time, Kelly proposed a cowritten article with two other professors: Liz Hall (psychology) and Jason McMartin (theology). Since they had cowritten a book, When the Journey Hurts, I figured they could handle making sure the writing sounded like a singular voice for their CT article. What made a cowritten article work was their responsiveness. When asked for edits, Liz would step in first. Kelly would also weigh in, and Jason might provide more details.

What resulted is a thoughtful article, which CT published today. The piece might help you walk alongside someone who’s suffering, in a compassionate and theologically robust way. It wasn’t just the subject matter—but also how they worked together—that made the difference.
