The Write2Ignite Podcast: Ep. 9: Anna Raats

Introducing...

Since 2009, Anna Raats has worked for Ambassador International. From designing the interiors of books, to becoming the Chief Operating Officer of the publishing company, Anna knows a thing or two about publishing books.

On this month’s episode, Brenda and I sit down and ask her the burning questions on every writer’s mind. From how many copies a first time author normally sells, to how many social media followers is enough. And in the meantime, you’ll meet one of the nicest people in the publishing world.

The Podcast

Daniel Blackaby - The Write2Ignite Podcast

As a fourth-generation author, Daniel Blackaby knows a thing or two about legacy. His grandfather wrote the impactful book “Experiencing God.” Every Christmas break, Daniel re-reads the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Legacy and cultural impact are always on Daniel’s mind. Which is why he launched his website “The Collision.org” which features articles and podcast episodes about how to engage with pop culture from a Biblical perspective. On this month's episode, Brenda and I got to sit down with Daniel and talk about his books, why Christians struggle to embrace fantasy, and why we must do more than just criticize culture: we must contribute.
