You have a unique voice, stories no one else can tell and a perspective gained by living hand-in-hand with your Creator. 


Why not write your own devotional book?

In this course, I’ll walk you through the process of planning, writing, publishing and promoting. You’ll receive over 30 short videos with easy exercises and tools to help you

  • Pinpoint your audience and the way you'll help them
  • Make an impact in every chapter, and keep readers turning pages
  • Keep your manuscript organized and your life balanced
  • Set up your business and get readers to pay your expenses
  • Choose a publisher and build your website
  • Advertise for free and plan your launch party
If I’d known how much I’d have to figure out, I might have stuck to songwriting. Now, I have a 12-month series in the making, and I love being an author. 

Let me make your first book easy by guiding you from inspiration to book launch.

Praise for this course:
