À propos de cet audio

Hey there! I’m Dalene - a Jesus-loving author 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, and
  • Glorify 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!

  • 5 Book Marketing Tips for Nonfiction Authors (that don't include Amazon ads)

    5 Book Marketing Tips for Nonfiction Authors (that don't include Amazon ads)
    Nov 14 2025

    "I wish I hadn't sold so many books," said no author ever.

    Authors ALWAYS want to sell more books, but most of the time, they simply don't know HOW.

    The good news is that regardless of whether you're a first-time aspiring author or a seasoned multi-book household name, there are ways you can consistently sell more books - yes, even your backlist titles.

    Here's a crucial fact you need to know: Nonfiction books are marketed much differently than fiction books. If you've been relying on fiction tactics to sell your nonfiction book, you're probably experiencing less than stellar results.

    Therefore, this episode is for nonfiction authors who are ready to sell their books more effectively ... and efficiently.

    Get ready to learn 5 book marketing tips that will help you make a bigger impact AND income as an author.

    Ep.147 | BONUS | Becoming a Writer for God's Glory with Kim Oswalt
    Nov 11 2025
    • Has God called you to write a book but you don't feel qualified?
    • Do you work full time and wonder how you'd ever fit writing a book into your busy schedule?
    • Have you ever wondered if anyone would even buy your book if you took the time to write it?

    If so, you'll be encouraged and inspired by Kim Oswalt who shared those same questions but decided to simply step out in obedience to become the writer God called her to be.

    Today's interview is the fourth in a series of 6 bonus episodes that shine a spotlight on just a few of the amazing members of my Christian Authors in Action community.

    Most podcast interviews talk to authors after the book is published, during their book launch. This series of interviews is different.

    Here you'll hear from Christian writers in the midst of the writing phase or navigating their time in-between projects.

    Keep listening to discover tangible tips you can apply to the reality of your own writing life.

  • Ep.146 | Are You Ready to Self-Publish Your Nonfiction Book? 6 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Launch

    Ep.146 | Are You Ready to Self-Publish Your Nonfiction Book? 6 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Launch
    Nov 6 2025

    Are you ready to self-publish your nonfiction book?

    Are you 100% certain?

    Maybe the deadline is looming and you're scurrying around, trying to do all the last-minute things. But have you taken the time to honestly evaluate the big-picture things that can make or break your book's success?

    Anyone can learn how to write a book. You need to create one that stands out.

    And the majority of authors (both traditional and self-published) sell fewer than 100 copies. Ever. Not just on launch day, but cumulatively across the months and years after launch.

    Don't be that author.

    Be the Christian writer God's called you to be - one willing to do the necessary work and glorify Him in the process.

    So on today's episode, I'm going to share 6 critical questions you need to ask yourself before you self-publish your nonfiction book.
