Here are the show notes for the most recent episode of the Christian Publishing Show.

You can listen to this episode here.

 

A lot of writers think, If I could just have more time, I could do more writing. Well, 2020 gave most writers a lot more time; and, yet, most of them are writing about the same as they were before. What keeps us from being more productive as writers? Is it writer’s block? If so, how do we overcome it?

Our guest today is the author of over 80 novels and novellas with over five million copies of her books in print.

Her writing has won the:
RITA® Award
Carol Award
Christy Award
National Reader’s Choice Award
Lifetime Achievement Awards from both ACFW and RWA
And more!

Robin Lee Hatcher, welcome to the Christian Publishing Show!
