 Have you felt God nudging you to write a book, but you haven't started it yet?

Or maybe He called you to write a book years ago and you began the project, but then you allowed distractions to cause you to place it on the back burner.

Maybe you've been keeping that book simmering in the background, occasionally giving it a stir, but maybe you turned off the heat, walked away, and let it grow cold.

Regardless of how long your...

 Self-publishing offers a host of benefits, including - and most importantly - that you get to retain all the rights to your content and you have full access to all of your marketing analytics.

• "I want to give God the glory, not myself."
• "I'm writing a book to help others, not puff myself up."

Those are all valid concerns. As Christians, we absolutely should give God all the glory and focus on serving others rather than ourselves.

But I don't think that means Christian writers aren't supposed to build ...

Ep.1...

A couple of years ago I hosted a morning coffee chat for Christian writers in my area. Later that day, I received a message from someone I had invited who asked, “How do you know if you’re a Christian writer?”

She had been interested in attending, but didn’t go because she didn’t feel qualified.

Remembering this led me to create today's.

Those are, indeed, habits and treasured moments with God we want to build into our daily lives. That should go without saying. 

But that's not what I'm goi...

Some writers are tempted to use generative AI to write a book (in part or in whole) because it takes time and effort, perseverance and fortitude. 

And for the author who wants their book out there RIGHT NOW, they don't want to bother going through the learning curve or putting in the days/weeks/months to write the book.

This episode isn't for those types of authors.
