Let’s look at writing with passion and purpose and when we do write with passion and purpose, we might generate a solid manuscript that gets published. How, then, do we market it? Today’s guests share their personal take on “practical” writing and marketing.
Jill Jepson is a writer, traveler, linguistic anthropologist, and college professor and describes herself as a writing and spirituality coach. Dr. Jepson empowers writers to fulfill their greatest artistic and professional potential through techniques that facilitate focus, clarity, creativity, and growth. Her approach is spiritual in the sense that she believes that the writer’s inner life and writing are interconnected. Jill’s book Writing as a Sacred Path: A Practical Guide to Writing with Passion and Purpose is one of the very few books that Write Here, Write Now host, Dr. Tim Morrison, turns to again and again for guidance and encouragement in his own writing and journey. Tim has also had the good fortune of experiencing coaching sessions with Jill.
Renea Winchester wrote a book, got it published, won a writing award,went on a book tour and discovered something unsettling: the number of talented authors whose basements are filled with unsold books. That led Renea to write Stress-free Marketing: Practical Advice for the Newly Published Author.

Thank you for streaming this online so I could listen in from Germany. I found it to be an entertaining and informative show.
Wow! This was incredibly helpful to me. Really liked the advice about libraries and independent book stores
Thanks go out to Jill and Renea for sharing their knowledge with us.
Hello from Tennessee! Wow….the information here is so helpful. Thanks to Jill and Renea for sharing their vast wisdom with us.
Listening from the Rocky Mountains — great interview with Renea and great information for new authors. Glad that streaming was available.
Listening in from Charleston, SC. Renea’s advice is especially interesting after working with a children’s publishing company that had many unsold books returned and unsellable. After experiencing what a publishing company goes through to market their books, I know that it takes a lot of the authors’ doing as well.
Renea Winchester is just the straightforward, practical sage I need in my writing quest. Am so grateful I heard this interview. Thanks Tim for having such an informed guest on your program. This is level-headed, feet-on-the-ground wisdom to give me a much needed push. Bill Ross
Thank you for your comment, Bill. Renea was a delightful guest and provided much needed insights. I hope you will take time to listen to other programs at WHWN. I make a concerted effort to find business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals to address a variety of writing issues.
