About this listen

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s truly possible to land a traditional publishing deal without a massive following--or without much of a social media presence at all—today’s episode is for you.

This week, we're celebrating our friend, WOS student, retreat leader, spiritual director, and debut author Lori Melton on the launch of her first book, Journey with a Giant. She shares how she secured a book deal with Ink & Willow, the imprint from WaterBrook & Multnomah (a division of Penguin Random House). And she accomplished all of this without relying on social media.

We also discuss the importance of choosing a spiritual mentor, navigating the publishing world without a social media presence, and pursuing your writing dreams with confidence in God. It's such a great conversation. Listen in! For show notes go to https://writingoffsocial.com/79
