Are you an aspiring author dreaming of publishing your book, but feeling overwhelmed by the journey ahead? In this episode, I'm tackling the three most common misconceptions about writing a book that often trip up new authors. Discover how to set realistic expectations, establish healthy boundaries, and become a more confident and productive writer.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The truth about income and opportunities: Why a book doesn't automatically generate income or open doors, and what you really need to do to attract your ideal audience and achieve your goals.
  • Debunking the "time to write" myth: Understanding that there's no universal timeframe for writing a book and how to set a realistic deadline based on your unique circumstances.
  • The reality of post-publication work: Why writing your manuscript is just the beginning and why marketing is essential for getting your message into the hands of your readers.

Plus, discover the Christian Authors in Action Program, a unique initiative designed to equip Christian indie authors to write, publish, and market God-honoring books of excellence. This isn't just about information; it's about implementation, accountability, and real-life action to help you become a more confident and productive writer.
