Ink and Impact for Christian Writers | How to Write a Book, Self-Publish, Christian Book, Book Marketing, Nonfiction Book
- Confused about how to write a book?
- Struggling to find time to write?
- Ready to learn a step-by-step process to self-publish like a pro?
Welcome to Ink and Impact, the podcast for Christian writers who want to self-publish their first nonfiction book. I’m your host, Dalene Bickel – a Jesus-loving book coach and founder of Lasting Legacies Publishing.
I’ve worked in the self-publishing industry for 29 years and I’ve written and published more than a dozen nonfiction books for clients (and myself).
What started out as a way to help retirees privately publish their life stories expanded in 2021 when the Lord called me to serve Christian writers.
I believe the Lord is calling Christian writers just like you – writers of all ages, races, and nationalities. Writers who are willing to create quality nonfiction books that offer the light, hope, and truth of Christ to a weary and waiting world.
Books that make a true impact on the world and leave a lasting legacy.
Maybe that resonates with you. Maybe you feel led to write a faith-based business or how-to book, memoir, devotional, or Bible study.
But as a busy business owner, parent of littles, family caregiver (or a combo of all three), your dream of becoming an author might seem out of reach right now.
The reality is that God has given you a message to share right now for a reason.
Here on the podcast, I’ll help you develop a publishing plan, write your manuscript, self-publish your book, and sell more copies no matter how much - or little- time you have.
Join me here each week as I bring you rotating content full of practical information and tangible tips as well as occasional interviews and industry insights, all from a Biblical perspective.
Get ready to:
- Replace distraction with productive action,
- Learn a clear step-by-step process, and
- Communicate your message in a way that attracts readers.
Fire up your computer and brew an extra pot of coffee, friend. It’s time to write your book and make an impact!

Ep.142 | No Time to Write a Book? 3 Solutions for Busy Christian Entrepreneurs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You're a Christian entrepreneur who has heard all the benefits of writing a book -
- attract new clients,
- become seen as an authority or thought leader in your field,
- be invited to speak on bigger stages...
That all sounds great, but you have an even bigger purpose than that. You want to share your expertise to help others and make a meaningful Kingdom impact.
And all of that sounds like it will take a lot of time and effort.
You WANT to write a book but you simply don't feel you have TIME to write a book.
You're not just busy juggling all things business - you also have family responsibilities, church commitments, and personal goals you're trying to reach.
It's a lot. But it doesn't mean you have to give up on your dream of becoming an author.
Today I'm going to share three ways busy Christian entrepreneurs like you can get your book done.
