The Anointed Scribe Podcast | Grow Your Christian Author Business, God’s Way
Have you tried every author strategy, followed all the advice, and still wonder why your books aren’t selling or your author business isn’t growing?
The Anointed Scribe Podcast™ is for self-published Christian authors who want to grow a profitable author business without compromising their faith.
I’m Urcelia Teixeira, a bestselling, award-winning Christian fiction author and founder of Anointed Scribe™. I know what it feels like to chase book sales, rankings, marketing strategies and the next thing the author world says you need, only to end up tired, discouraged and unsure whether you are still building the business God asked you to build.
Each week, we look at the real business of being an indie author using Scripture and applying biblical principles. We talk about book sales, marketing discernment, author income, email lists, advertising, social media, author platforms, productivity, burnout, comparison, ambition, calling, and success.
This is not a writing craft podcast or a step-by-step guide to setting up a KDP account. It is a place for Christian authors who need help deciding which strategies to follow, how to pursue profit without letting money lead them, how to keep going when results are slow, and how to build a business that serves readers and keeps Christ at the center.
You’ll find honest conversations, practical author business guidance, biblical teaching and encouragement for the days when you feel weary, doubtful or stuck.
Follow the show, and let’s grow your faith and build a profitable author business, God’s way.
