Karl Vaters interviews Drew Dyck about how to get started writing for ministry, including what book publishers are looking for.

by Drew Dyck

In this week’s episode of Can This Work In A Small Church? I interview Drew Dyck about the important subject of Writing for Ministry.

Drew is the author of several books, most recently, Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science (A Guide for Sinners, Quitters, and Procrastinators).

Drew has spent a couple decades as a writer and editor for major church publishers, so he and I spend some time talking about

The differences between preaching and writing
How to get started writing for ministry
What book publishers are looking for (yes, even from small church pastors.)
