    Weaving a Message into Your Story

    Send a text In one of our recent Writers for a Reason Unite groups, one of the things we talked about was weaving a message into our stories. How do we do this gently, with respect? After all, we are not here to persuade, as much as allow readers to think through issues of faith, and make up their own minds. Of course, as Christians, we would love everyone to share our faith! But not everyone will choose to do so, and that’s between them and God – our job is to simply to share our story. This episode will help you think about how you can weave a brilliant message into a story your readers will love.  Support the show Like to do my free writing course, Gripping Beginnings?
