054 || How She Got Her Book Published Even with a Small Platform || Eryn Lynum

Send us Fan MailEryn Lynum lives in Northern Colorado with her husband and three boys, where they spend their time hiking, camping, and exploring the Rocky Mountains. Her work and passion is to come alongside authors and help them market the message God has laid on their hearts. She loves to travel and share at conferences, churches, and writers’ groups. But every opportunity she gets, she is out exploring God’s creation with her family. Eryn is the author of 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting, which will be available in February of 2018. In this episode, you’ll hear Eryn talk about the shift towards intentional parenting that happened when she and her husband were faced with the reality that they have only 936 weeks – from birth to 18 – with each of their three boys. She also shares about the process of writing her first book, including the ups and downs of trying to find the right publisher and how it felt to be told again and again that she didn’t have the platform for a successful book. All the lessons along the way have given Eryn great perspective and some helpful tips for listeners who are wondering how to become a published author.   Want to chat more about today’s show?
