Today I’m joined by Amy Seiffert—pastor, author, seminary student, and mama who’s juggling ministry, motherhood, and manuscripts like a boss (and with a whole lot of grace). She has lived through seasons that refined her and taught her what perseverance truly looks like. And lucky us—she’s bringing all that wisdom to the table.
Ever wondered what the road to becoming a published author looks like—not the Instagram-filtered version, but the gritty, God-led, faith-tested one? Amy’s pulling back the curtain and telling it like it is.
We’re diving into the world of traditional publishing. What’s amazing? What’s not so glamorous? And what’s that one thing nobody mentions before your book hits the shelves?
Amy's insights are invaluable, and she’s sharing the highs, the hard truths, and the hope behind it all. You won't want to miss a word. You might even want to listen twice.
