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 to the right. We compare ourselves to others, which leads to pride on some days and discouragement on others. The desire to be published is noble, but how do we preserve our souls in the process?
In this episode, Jenni Burke, who is a literary agent and the CEO of Illuminate Literary, shares her heart for authors. She explains to senior editor Will Parker Anderson:
Why author coaching should always include soul care
The importance of rest, reflection, and play
How to stay connected to Jesus in a dizzying industry
The elements of a winning book proposal
How to find satisfaction regardless of your audience size
By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical strategies for positioning yourself well in a crowded market. Even more importantly, your soul will be postured in a place of contentment and peace.
