For every listener or viewer who wants to write but lacks the “how to,” this episode is for you. You will learn the importance of finding your voice, knowing your audience, discovering your process, honing your craft, and the most challenging part of all—disciplining yourself to write.
Our guest for the September and October episodes is Lee Ann Alexander. Lee Ann is the UPCI associate editor-in-chief and senior vice president of Pentecostal Resources Group. She has authored four books and hosts the Wholyness Podcast. She is a UPCI ordained minister and serves as discipleship director at her local church, The Sanctuary, in Hazelwood, Missouri.
RESOURCES:
Lee Ann Alexander reminds us that reading other writers’ stories can be a great source of encouragement and direction. She recommends the following:
From an Apostolic perspective, LaJoyce Martin’s Once Upon a Lifetime: A Sortabiography is a beautiful source of inspiration.
From a non-Apostolic viewpoint, One Writer’s Beginnings by Eudora Welty sheds light on the creative process of one of the literary community’s most talented fiction writers.
She also invites interested writers to explore publishing options with Pentecostal Publishing House at https://pentecostalpublishing.com/pages/site-publish-your-work. If you’re interested in writing for curriculum magazines, email [email protected].
