Ink and Impact for Christian Writers | HOW TO WRITE A BOOK, NONFICTION, AUTHOR, SELF PUBLISHING, CHRISTIAN BOOK
Hey there! I’m Dalene - a Jesus-loving mom and founder of Lasting Legacies Publishing.
Twenty years ago, I accepted my first ghostwriting project. Even though I had been a manuscript editor for almost a decade by that point, I had never actually written a book before. Faced with that first book project, I was both excited and terrified.
I knew how to write a book in theory, but I had no clue how to do it in practice.
So I turned to the Internet. I listened to bits and pieces of advice from numerous experts, which caused confusion and overwhelm rather than producing a clear plan of action. Worse yet, I put God in the back seat.
It was a long, messy process that cost me countless amounts of time, frustration, and money. But I persevered.
With each subsequent book I wrote, I improved my writing and my process. I continue to keep a pulse on the latest technology and industry changes. And in 2021, shortly after I put God back in His rightful place in the front seat, God told me to call His writers.
Since then, I’ve pulled my insights and process together into a step-by-step system, which I’m eager to share with you!
If you’re ready to:
- Replace distraction with productive action,
- Learn a clear and complete process to write, publish, and market your book,
- Communicate your message in a way that resonates with your readers, and
- Glorify God throughout it all…
