Listen in to discover 3 mindset shifts that will help you become a more confident Christian writer AND marketer.RESOURCESSnag a free copy of Your Path to PublishingEp. 127 - Is Fear of Success Holding You Back? Ep. 125 - Cultivating Your Message: Maximizing Impact without Compromising ValuesEp. 40 - Overcoming Fear as a Writer with Jenn Hand CONNECT WITH DALENEContact - > [email protected] ->www.inkandimpact.comConnect -> Join the free Facebook group Christian Authors in ActionFB/IG/LI ->@dalenebickel NEXT STEPSStep 1: Join a supportive community of moms looking for simple and easy meal planning tips at the free Facebook group Christian Authors in ActionStep 2: Get more personalized support through 1:1 book coaching at www.dalenebickel.com/bookworthy-coaching  What additional topics would you like to learn about?Ready to become a better, more confident writer and make a kingdom impact?

  • Writing Your First Christian Book? 3 Tips for Beginning Authors | Ep.133
    A couple of years ago I hosted a morning coffee chat for Christian writers in my area.

  • 2 Strategic Actions You Can Take Now to Make a Bigger Impact with Your Book | Ep.132
    Two Strategic Actions You Can Take to Make a Bigger Impact with Your BookWhen I say there are two strategic actions for Christian authors, my guess is that you're immediately thinking of "Sunday School answers" such as prayer and reading our Bibles daily. Those are, indeed, habits and treasured moments with God we want to build into our daily lives. That should go without saying. But that's not what I'm going to talk about today. Today, I'm going deeper. Let me warn you that what I share might step on your toes a bit. If it does, know you're not alone. I was convicted as well. And that's a good thing. We don't want to be superficial Christian authors. We want to make a powerful kingdom impact. Listen in to learn how.BOOK YOUR 1:1 COACHING CALLWhat additional topics would you like to learn about?Ready to become a better, more confident writer and make a kingdom impact?

About 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. With each subsequent book I wrote, I improved my writing process. I kept 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, andGlorify God throughout it all…Then this podcast is for you!Fire up your computer and brew an extra pot of coffee. It’s time to write your book and make an impact!
