Dear Kingdom Writers,

When I first established Inspired Grace Media, I wanted to create a dedicated department focused solely on coaching writers. This department's mission was to nurture the creative writer as a whole individual, delving into their inner world beyond just their literary works or outward creativity displays. Within the supportive sessions conducted by myself or a designated team member, authors were encouraged to seek guidance on various aspects such as prayer, spiritual direction, handling feelings of insecurity, coping with rejection, overcoming writer's block, managing time efficiently, or simply venting their daily frustrations. It became apparent that writing is intricately tied to the mental challenges and distractions that authors face rather than their writing skills alone.

My inspiration for writing the Kingdom Writer Collection stems not only from my experience in publishing and encouraging authors but also from my struggles with writing amidst numerous life challenges. Through this collection, I hope to provide knowledge, clarity, and understanding in the areas mentioned above, drawing on my experiences with insecurities, grief over the unexpected loss of my mother, and navigating countless uncertainties and losses in life that plagued my writing journey. Despite seeking guidance from various writing coaches who imparted valuable insights on the technical aspects of writing, my underlying issue preventing me from fully engaging in writing ran deeper. I yearned for someone who had weathered similar storms and could help guide me through it. This is when I knew I needed a mentor.

It would be a privilege for me to be for you what I once looked for and walk alongside you in your writing journey through the transformative experience of the Kingdom Writer Collection as you navigate the delicate balance between answering your call to write and successfully navigating life's challenges. Despite the trials that life may present, I have witnessed how God honors our obedience in writing by not only blessing and sustaining the writer but also extending these blessings to the communities they impact.

I look forward to embarking on this journey with you, while eagerly anticipating, witnessing, and celebrating your transformation as you embrace your calling to write and influence nations towards Christ.

Blessings,

Dr. Charis Rooks, aka Doc
