For years, I hesitated to say, “I’m a writer.” Even after publishing my first book, I felt like I was waiting for permission to step fully into my calling. Maybe you’ve felt the same way—dreaming of writing a novel, creating characters, or building a fictional world, but fear and self-doubt keep holding you back.

In this episode of The Christian Writers Podcast, I talk about overcoming imposter syndrome, building confidence as a Christian author, and embracing your identity as a writer. I share how writing my Cozy Corner Mysteries helped me see that my perspective—even my challenges as someone on the autism spectrum—wasn’t a limitation, but a strength. The same is true for you: your unique story, experiences, and struggles are what make your writing powerful, authentic, and needed.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode: ✨ Why Christian writers don’t need outside “permission” to start writing ✨ How your struggles and experiences can fuel authentic storytelling ✨ Why no one else can write your book the way you can ✨ How faith and Scripture (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) affirm your calling as a writer ✨ Encouragement to own your voice and step boldly into your role as an author

Whether you’re writing Christian fiction, a cozy mystery, or a faith-based memoir, remember this: God has already equipped you with the experiences, perspective, and voice to tell the story only you can write. Stop waiting for permission—your time to write is now.
