Looking back over two decades of walking with the Lord through ministry, writing, and raising a large family, I’m constantly amazed by how God directs our steps. Many years ago, I came across a beautiful prayer by Peter Marshall, chaplain of the United States Senate in the 1940s, recorded in the book Mr. Jones, Meet…
Hey friends! Can I be honest with you for a second? I know you have a book inside you. Maybe it’s been there for years. Maybe you’ve started it a dozen times, or maybe it’s still just a dream you keep whispering to yourself at night… someday. You tell yourself you’ll write it after the kids…
Thirty-seven years ago, when I was 17 and a teen mom, I never would have imagined a day like yesterday. First of all, our daughter and our two grandchildren, who live in the Czech Republic, are here visiting. We only get to see them once a year, and when they come, they usually stay for…
I’ve written historical fiction, contemporary fiction, split-time novels, a children’s picture book, a YA nonfiction book, cozy mysteries, biblical novels, steampunk fantasy, self-help, memoir, and 365-day devotionals — and somewhere north of 75 books total. People ask me all the time: “What’s the secret?” There isn’t one secret. There are hundreds of small ones, gathered…
Looking back at where we’ve been is so much fun. Recently, I dug up an old “Ask Me Anything” post from twenty years ago. At the time, I was living in the shadow of the Montana Rockies, homeschooling my older kids, and just beginning to navigate the balance of a growing writing career. So much…
Writing a book is a journey that requires more than just words. It takes a heart dedicated to the long haul. The most important work we do is often within the four walls of our own homes and the quiet spaces of our hearts. After writing over one hundred books, I have learned that the…
I’m sure all my fellow writers would agree that one of the questions we get asked the most is, “How do you write a novel?” Usually, that question comes from two places: First, readers are genuinely curious about how a story filled with fresh, true-to-life characters actually makes the leap from an author’s mind to…
As authors, it’s easy to get caught up in the deadlines, edits, and stubborn scenes that just won’t cooperate. We sit at our desks, wondering if the words we’re wrestling with will ever come together. What we sometimes forget is this: our books are more than stories—they’re seeds planted in hearts we may never meet….
By Tricia Goyer I’ve been writing books for more than two decades, and I’ll let you in on a little secret: even professional writers face writer’s block. Yes, even me! Sometimes the words just don’t come, and the blank page stares back like a challenge I’m not sure I’m ready for. So when my homeschooled…
When people ask how I’ve published over 90 books, I tell them—it wasn’t overnight. It was years of persistence, prayer, and learning from both mistakes and divine appointments. If you’re dreaming of seeing your book in print, here’s what I’ve learned along the way. Called to the Work Only You Can Do Somewhere between In…
Letting God Rewrite You One of the most beautiful—and painful—things about being a writer is the process of undoing. To do my best, I must give my all. Writers know this. We pour our hearts into pages, confronting both our deepest doubts and our greatest hopes. But something else happens in the process that goes…
