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!
