2h ago45:30

45:30

A lot of writers struggle with the idea of building a platform. Some of us lack motivation because it seems impossible to get noticed in today’s noisy world.

Why Platform Matters with Curtis Yates (part 1) 33:28

5h ago33:28

33:28

Why does your platform matter so much to publishers? Isn’t good writing enough? Is it necessary to become an online personality just to land a book deal? You’ve probably asked these questions, as you watch countless writers exhaust themselves trying to gain traction on social media. It’s noble to want to exit the circus and focus on what matters: w…

As a Christian writer, it’s likely that you interact with scripture in your work. Sometimes you retell a story from the Bible, or quote a verse, or reference an idea. And every time we do, there’s a responsibility to handle scripture well. But how do we do that? Today’s guest is Trillia Newbell, a prolific author, speaker, and the acquisitions dire…

Murder Your Darlings with Brett McCracken 53:31

22d ago53:31

53:31

Feedback is terrifying. It’s vulnerable to have your writing scrutinized, especially when you’ve poured so much of your time, heart, and energy into it. It’s tempting to avoid feedback altogether, but this ignores the overwhelming research on the benefits of coaching and mentorship. We grow faster and more profoundly under the tutelage of others. I…

How to Slay the Marketing Monster with Jordan Raynor 45:24

Do modern writers have to be marketers? In a word, yes. This catches many authors by surprise. Isn’t it the publisher's job to promote a book? Yes, but in today’s publishing climate, marketing is a joint effort一a partnership between author and publisher. In the age of social media, writers are expected to leverage their audience to boost sales. How…

47:40

Do you ever feel like there’s no time to write? Life is busy. As we strive to steward the many aspects of our lives一school, kids, work, church, and family一writing often gets pushed to the backburner.

Caring For Your Soul with Jenni Burke 48:36

It’s easy to lose yourself as a writer. With good intentions, we start with a message we think the world needs. It’s about helping others, not building a brand. And yet, steadily and silently, the lure of fame and approval seeps into our bones. We long to see our name on the front cover. Publishers demand social media numbers that are moving up and…

For others, they’ve tried to create a weekly newsletter, but eventual…

Prophetic Prose with Dr. Eric Mason 40:56

3M ago40:56

Good writing is provocative. It grabs your attention, not as click bait, but because it resonates with reality一it names the ache you feel in everyday life. It emboldens you to stay in the fight, to forgive, to grow. Unfortunately, it’s easier to be predictable than prophetic. On one hand, some writers go over the top to gain attention, without offe…

How to Market Your Book with Don Gates 48:06

If you don’t market your book, don’t expect anyone to read it. That sounds harsh, right? The problem is, most writers assume that good writing is enough to garner reader attention. They pour countless hours into creating content, but give little thought to packaging and marketing it. Readers won’t come to a book if they don’t even know it exists. I…
