What does it really look like to write and publish books while juggling faith, family, and real life?

In this Author Spotlight interview, I’m sitting down with 3x Author Candace Therese Beckford, who is currently writing her fourth book, to talk honestly about her writing and publishing journey. From creating children’s books to writing a deeply personal memoir, Candace shares what it takes to stay committed to the call to write even when self-doubt, fear, and life responsibilities try to get in the way.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Building a sustainable writing routine as a busy, faith-driven author
• Navigating the realities of self-publishing versus traditional publishing
• Finding the courage to share personal stories that matter
• How faith, perseverance, and obedience shaped her author journey

If you’re an aspiring author who desires to write meaningful books, stay consistent in your writing process, and move forward in publishing with confidence and purpose, this conversation will encourage you and give you practical insight from someone who’s walking it out in real time.

Tune in for an honest, inspiring author journey that will motivate you to keep writing the book God placed on your heart.

Be Encouraged,

DS

Have you been writing your book for so long that you just want it to be over?

The excitement is gone.

You’re no longer celebrating progress.

You’re simply pushing through, hoping to finally finish.

In this episode, I want to talk to the aspiring authors who feel burned out, disconnected, or joyless in their writing process. Pulled from a recent live training inside the Book Writing Made Simple Community, this episode explores a powerful mindset shift to help you find joy again while writing your book, even when the journey feels long.

If you’ve been writing for years, restarting over and over, or measuring your progress by how long it’s taking instead of how far you’ve come, this episode is for you.

You’ll be encouraged to reconnect with the purpose behind your book, celebrate small wins, and view your writing as something worth honoring right where you are.

🎧 Tune in and rediscover joy in the process, not just the finish line.

Be Encouraged,

DS
