Welcome to Kingdom Writers, where we help equip and empower Christian writers of all genres to share your unique gifts with the world. We're your hosts, C.J. and Shelli Hitz.
This podcast is filled with spiritual encouragement as well as prayers to help you overcome the resistance you face as a writer. Your story matters.
So if you've been watching our videos or reading our emails, you might be thinking, this sounds great, but how do I know if Christian Book Academy is for me? Well, let's talk about that, because it really is an important question. Hi, I'm Shelli Hitz, founder of Christian Book Academy, and we've helped over a thousand writers to finish and publish their books. Many of them after years of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start. And if you're asking this question, you're very likely the kind of writer that we've created this for. So you've probably looked at other writing programs and thought, wow, this feels too complicated, or I'm not sure if I fit the mold. And maybe you've even joined something in the past. You got overwhelmed, lost, or felt like the content didn't align with your values. But here's the truth. Most writing programs are built for productivity, like how many words you can get done, how fast can you write your book? But it's not about partnership. We focus on helping you partner with God as you write your book. And that really sets us apart. So other programs may focus on hustle, deadlines and doing it all yourself, but for Kingdom writers, honestly, that typically doesn't work. And that's where Christian Book Academy is different. We build it specifically for Christian writers like you, who want to partner with God every step of the way. So it's a simple spirit led path to help you finish and publish your book. Even if you just have 15 minutes a day to write, you don't need to be tech savvy, you don't need to know all the steps, and you definitely don't have to figure it out on your own. So we show you one tiny step at a time and we walk with you in community while you do it. So writers like Jackie, who published six books while working full time, found the ability to do this in just 15 minutes a day. Or Tanisia, who struggled for five years on her own and then she finished her book in just three months after joining Christian Book Academy. Or Lois, who tried for years to write her entire life story until she learned about our tiny testimony book approach and she finally published a shorter book and it sold over a hundred copies during her book launch alone. They didn't fit the traditional mold either. They just needed a different kind of system. And that's what Christian Book Academy gave them. So if you've been wondering, is this for me? Here's what I want you to know.
If you're a Christian writer and you.
Want to partner with God, if you've wanted to finish and publish without burnout or tech overwhelm, and if you tried before but need a different kind of system, then yes, this was built for you and we'd love to help you take the next step.
