SPS 184: From Pastor To Author & Podcaster; Writing For Church Leaders with Carey Nieuwhof

If you're a pastor or church leader considering writing a book, this podcast interview is a must-listen. Join me as I chat with Carey Nieuwhof, the author of "At Your Best" and "Didn't See It Coming," as well as the host of the Carey Nieuwhof leadership podcast. During this interview, we discuss a variety of topics related to writing a book as a pastor.

First, we explore the question of whether it's too late to write your first book at 45. Carey shares his personal experience of writing the draft of his first book between Christmas and New Years, and whether it's possible for you to do the same.

Additionally, we cover the idea that writing a book gets harder the more books you write, and how to create better frameworks for your book. We also delve into the differences between self-publishing and traditional publishing, and what Carey has learned from doing both.

We then discuss how to make sure you retain ownership of the intellectual property of your book, as well as the opportunities and traps of writing a book as a pastor. Finally, Carey shares his advice on managing the finances of your book and your church, drawing on his experience as a former pastor and lawyer.

If you're writing a faith-based book or considering writing a book as a pastor, you won't want to miss this episode. Carey's insights and expertise will be sure to inform and inspire you.
