About Ink and Impact - Write a Book that Makes a Difference

Confused about how to write a book? Struggling to find time to write? Ready to learn a step-by-step process to self-publish like a pro? Welcome to Ink and Impact, the podcast for Christian writers who want to self-publish their first nonfiction book. I’m your host, Dalene Bickel – a Jesus-loving book coach and founder of Lasting Legacies Publishing. I’ve worked in the self-publishing industry for 29 years and I’ve written and published more than a dozen nonfiction books for clients (and myself). What started out as a way to help retirees privately publish their life stories expanded in 2021 when the Lord called me to serve Christian writers. I believe the Lord is calling Christian writers just like you – writers of all ages, races, and nationalities. Writers who are willing to create quality nonfiction books that offer the light, hope, and truth of Christ to a weary and waiting world. Books that make a true impact on the world and leave a lasting legacy. Maybe that resonates with you. Maybe you feel led to write a faith-based business or how-to book, memoir, devotional, or Bible study. But as a busy business owner, parent of littles, family caregiver (or a combo of all three), your dream of becoming an author might seem out of reach right now. The reality is that God has given you a message to share right now for a reason. Here on the podcast, I’ll help you develop a publishing plan, write your manuscript, self-publish your book, and sell more copies no matter how much - or little- time you have. Join me here each week as I bring you rotating content full of practical information and tangible tips as well as occasional interviews and industry insights, all from a Biblical perspective. Get ready to: Replace distraction with productive action, Learn a clear step-by-step process, and Communicate your message in a way that attracts readers. Fire up your computer and brew an extra pot of coffee, friend. It’s time to write your book and make an impact! NEXT STEPS: Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!

Ep.166 | Feeling Stuck as an Author? Here's Why "Doing More" Isn't the Answer

Published 10 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It's time to start doing. It's time to write and finish that manuscript. This year is going to be the year that you are going to really start making traction. Okay, so that leads us to point number two, focus on doing only two things at a time. Yes, you need to take action, but you don't need to take action on everything all at once. And I'm guessing that you've heard before that you should only work on one thing at a time. But I believe that you should work on two things at a time as an author. Specifically, you need to focus on writing and engaging with your ideal readers. Not just any reader, your ideal reader, your target reader, the people who read your genre, the people who need the information you have. people who are waiting for the message that only you can give them, right?
