Publishing Secrets

Dr. Bren Williams: Step Out, Step Up, and Step Forth

Episode Summary

Do you have so many ideas that you simply don’t know where to start? How can you know how much to include in one book, and how can you narrow your focus when you have so much information that you feel called to share? These are some of the questions that this week’s guest, Dr. Bren Williams, wrestled with as she was writing her first book. Fortunately, she didn’t have to answer them all on her own. Through prayer and listening for God’s guidance, Dr. Williams was able to work out a process of elimination and find the right focus for this book – and more to come later.
