From Manuscript to Published: An Author's Journey to Seeing the Unseen

I recently had the joy of chatting again with my mom, DeAnna Sanders. As some of you may remember, she joined me last year when she was still writing her book. Well, now it's finished - I'm holding an advance copy of "Unseen People" in my hands! In this encouraging episode, my mom shares valuable behind-the-scenes insights into her journey to publication over the past year. She opens up with honesty about the challenging but rewarding process, from signing her book contract to final editing to now anticipating its public launch. I think you'll particularly appreciate her wise perspective on having patience through each step and learning to see her book as being for the readers more than herself. She also has super practical tips for aspiring authors, as well as for anyone wanting to make more meaningful connections in their everyday lives. Overall, our conversation is filled with Mom's trademark warmth and wisdom. I come away freshly inspired to value each person God uniquely created. If that sounds worthwhile to you, consider subscribing and sharing this video! I'll also link to more info on "Unseen People" below.
