In this episode, Michelle Dennis Evans and Marlee Blakedeliver inspiration, encouragement, and practical tips for Christian writers ready to start their book. Marlee discusses novel writing as a ministry, emphasising writing with purpose to reflect real struggles and God's redemption through faith, without resorting to smut. She suggests letting the first draftbe messy, free from worries about punctuation or factual correctness, to simply get the story out. Kingdom Writers must unlearn the lie of not being talented enough because readers are waiting for their specific voice. To steward timeand money well and avoid going broke while writing, Marlee highlights strategic pricing of 99-cent launches also offers free books in exchange for emails—to build a loyal audience.

Marlee lives in a multigenerational home in Texas—on purpose—with the love of her life (29 years and counting), two of the most beautiful girls God ever made, and the memory of their sweet son in Heaven.She's been writing poems and short stories since she was 10 and devouring romance novels since she was 15. Marlee believes that, even as Christians, we can have all the swoon and drama, love and redemption—without the smut. Stories that reflect real struggles, lasting hope, and the truth of a God who shows up in the middle of it all. Stories with heart, humor, faith, and a few emotional rollercoasters thrown in for good measure.Because while the story might be fiction, the God Marlee writes about is anything but. And maybe—just maybe—somewhere, someone will see themselves in a page, hold on to hope, and reach for the God who loves them more than they know.Find Marlee on Facebook ... https://www.facebook.com/share/19d6YNrbgK/Collision with Forever & Always - free - https://dl.bookfunnel.com/yfcnnptbmzIn The Crosshairs - https://a.co/d/62tp5K2#AuthorInterview #ChristianWriters #FaithAndWriting #KingdomWriters
