I know you have a story on your heart that you are dying to tell.
There is something unique inside of you that God is trying to call out through your creativity, but you get caught up in the details of how do I write a good story? How do I make my characters come to life on the page? Does my book truly matter?
You find yourself stuck writing chapter one over and over, burnt out, discouraged and on the brink of quitting.
Hi, my name is Alivia Roan. I’m a writer who loves Jesus, a dog mom, story development nerd, and I have a HUGE passion for all things creative.
I made this podcast becasue I believe in YOUR story.
I want to encourage you through scripture and help you develop your craft, grow spiritually, and create with the creator in mind.
If you’re ready to make an impact through your book that will honor God no matter what market you choose to write for, then grab a notebook and some coffee and let’s get inspired to write!
