Are you a self-published Christian author who wants to grow a profitable author business without losing sight of God in the process? Anointed Scribe™ equips and encourages indie Christian authors to grow their faith and build a profitable author business through biblical wisdom and practical author-business strategies. I’m Urcelia Teixeira, a bestselling, award-winning Christian fiction author and founder of Anointed Scribe™. I know what it feels like to chase book sales, rankings, marketing strategies and the next thing the author world says you need, only to end up tired, discouraged and wondering whether you’re still building the business God asked you to build. Each week, we take the real decisions Christian authors face and bring them under the light of Scripture. We talk about book marketing, book sales, author income, email lists, advertising, social media, author platforms, productivity and sustainable business growth. We also deal with what sits underneath those decisions: comparison, fear, ambition, burnout, calling, money, motives, discouragement and the pull toward striving. You’ll get biblical teaching that reaches the heart alongside practical tools and strategies you can use in your author business. This is not a writing-craft podcast or a step-by-step guide to setting up a KDP account. It’s for self-published Christian authors who want to reach more readers, sell more books, make wise business decisions and pursue profit without allowing money, numbers or industry pressure to take God’s place. If you want to grow your faith and build a profitable author business with Christ at the center, you’re in the right place.

    98 | Are You Reaching the Readers God Called You to Serve?

    Are you working hard to sell your books but still not seeing the response you hoped for? The problem may not be that you need more visibility, more ads, or another platform. You may be reaching people who were never the best fit for your books in the first place. In this episode, you’ll look at how to recognize a mismatch between your books and the people paying attention, why “Christian readers” is often too broad to be useful, and how to get clearer on the people your work is genuinely suited to serve. We’ll unpack the difference between attention and buying intent, what Matthew 4:19 and 1 Corinthians 9 can teach us about keeping people at the center, and how reviews, emails, messages and reader conversations can help you understand what your readers value. You’ll also get a simple reader-research exercise to use with one of your books this week, so you can make wiser decisions about how you describe it, where you promote it, and who you’re trying to reach. If disappointing sales have made you question your book, your strategy or even your calling, this episode will help you check the reader fit before assuming the book itself is the problem. 🌱 🫩 Overwhelmed by everything it takes to be a successful Christian author?

    97 | How Much Should Christian Authors Market Their Books?

    Have you ever wondered whether marketing your books means you’re trying to take control of your book sales instead of trusting God with them? You believe God called you to write, but your books aren’t reaching as many readers as you’d hoped. So do you wait for God to open doors, or do you roll up your sleeves and start marketing your books? For Christian authors, finding the balance between faith, book marketing, and the desire to grow a profitable author business can be challenging. And when we’re unsure where to draw the line, we may end up holding back on the very things that could help more readers discover our books. In this episode of Anointed Scribe, we’re exploring what biblical wisdom teaches us about trusting God while taking responsibility for our author business, and how to approach book marketing with greater clarity and confidence. If you’re a self-published Christian author who wants to reach more readers, improve book sales, and grow your author business God’s way, this conversation is for you. 🌱 🫩 Overwhelmed by everything it takes to be a successful Christian author?

    96 | Is Comparison Driving Your Author Business Decisions?

    Have you ever felt content with your author business until you saw another author’s sales screenshot, launch results, ad success or publishing pace? Comparison can do more than make you feel behind. It can make you question a strategy that was working, spend money you hadn’t planned to spend, publish faster than fits your life, or chase a tactic that belongs in someone else’s business. In this episode, we look at how to learn from successful authors without turning their results into instructions for your own business. We’ll also spend time in John 21:20–22, where Peter asks Jesus, “What about him?” and consider what that exchange can teach us about keeping your attention on what God has asked you to do. You’ll learn how to spot comparison disguised as research, examine what is driving a business decision, and tell the difference between useful information and pressure to copy another author’s strategy or standard. If another author’s success has been making you second-guess your self-publishing strategy, marketing spend, sales or publishing pace, this episode will help you make your next decision based on your own business context and biblical wisdom. 🌱 🫩 Overwhelmed by everything it takes to be a successful Christian author?

    95 | Book Marketing Beyond Social Media: How to Find More Readers

    Do you feel pressured to post on social media every day just to stay visible and sell books? In this episode, you’ll learn how to find more readers without making Facebook, Instagram or TikTok the center of your book marketing strategy. We’ll look at the difference between your social media presence and your wider author platform, including the marketing assets that can keep helping readers discover your books after you log off. Your email list, website, retailer pages, book descriptions, back matter and online search all have a part to play. We’ll also look at Luke 5 and what Jesus’ response to increasing public demand can teach us about visibility, boundaries and deciding how much of your time and personal life belongs online. If social media takes more time and attention than you want to give it, this episode will help you look beyond daily posting and strengthen the parts of your author platform that give readers more ways to find you and stay connected. 🌱 🫩 Overwhelmed by everything it takes to be a successful Christian author?

    94 | When Did Selling Books Get So Complicated? Diagnose Before You Try Another Strategy

    Trying to sell more books can send you down a rabbit hole of keywords, categories, ads, email lists, social media and endless advice about what you should be doing next. But before you add another tactic, there’s a more important question to ask: Do you know what problem you’re actually trying to solve? In this episode, I’m sharing what I wish I had understood much earlier in my author career about the difference between collecting more information and making wiser decisions. We’ll look at Proverbs 4:7 and Romans 11:36, and why seeking God’s wisdom before reaching for the next strategy can save you from wasting time, money and energy on the wrong solution. I’ll also show you a practical way to look at your book sales and work out where your attention may be needed most before you decide what to change next. If selling books has started to feel far more complicated than writing them ever did, this episode will help you slow the noise, ask better questions and make a wiser next move.

    93 | Why Your Christian Author Business Isn’t Growing: Does Your Strategy Match Your Season?

    Have you been trying new strategies, working harder and making changes in your author business, but still feel like you’re not gaining the traction you expected? Sometimes the problem isn’t that you need another strategy. It may be that you’re asking your business to grow in a way that doesn’t fit where you are right now. In this episode, we’re looking at the different seasons a Christian author business can move through, why each one requires a different focus, and what can happen when you try to build for a season you haven’t reached yet. If you’ve been wondering what you should be working on next, whether you’re behind, or why the strategies that seem to work for other authors aren’t producing the same results for you, this conversation will help you look at your author business with fresh perspective and identify where your attention may need to go next. 🌱 🫩 Overwhelmed by everything it takes to be a successful Christian author?

    92 | 4 Fears Holding Back Your Christian Author Business. Which One Is Yours?

    Sometimes what looks like a strategy problem in your author business may have something deeper underneath it. Fear can influence the way you price your books, make decisions, spend money, show up for readers, respond to slow sales and even whether you take the next step you know you need to take. In this episode, we’re looking at four fears that can affect Christian authors in ways that aren’t always obvious, especially when they disguise themselves as caution, responsibility or waiting for the “right” time. We’ll also look at what Scripture says about fear and faith, and how to recognize when fear may be influencing your business decisions more than wisdom is. If you’ve been working hard but still feel stuck, hesitant or unsure why you keep pulling back from certain decisions, this episode may help you recognize what’s been influencing you more than you realized.

    91 | How Do I Know If God Wants Me to Keep Writing?

    Have you been wondering whether God still wants you to write? Maybe your book sales haven’t improved. The work feels heavier than it used to. Or something about your writing life no longer fits the way it once did. But how do you know whether you’re reacting to a difficult season or whether God is leading you toward something different? In this episode, we’re looking at that crossroads through Ecclesiastes 3:1 and James 1:5, and at how to discern what may be changing without treating every frustrating week as a sign that you should quit. We’ll talk about the difference between your calling and the way you’ve been carrying it, what to pay attention to when the question keeps returning, and why the answer may be more nuanced than “keep going” or “walk away.” If you’re tired, discouraged or wondering whether this chapter of your author life is ending, this episode will help you bring the question back to God with wisdom rather than making the decision from your sales numbers alone.
