What if the key to growing your writing platform isn’t striving harder… but linking arms with other writers?

In this episode of The Writers’ Bloc Podcast, I sit down with author and speaker Becky Beresford to talk about the power of Christian collaboration — how community, encouragement, and shared kingdom work can open doors you never expected.

Becky shares:

• How writing became a form of discipleship during a difficult season of motherhood

• The story behind her Brave Woman series and how it connected nearly 200 women writers

• Practical ways writers can collaborate without feeling overwhelmed

• Why the enemy wants writers isolated — and how community helps us persevere

• How collaboration helped her grow her platform, land an agent, and launch her book

This conversation is full of wisdom, encouragement, and practical ideas for Christian writers who want to build meaningful relationships while staying rooted in Christ.

✨ “We don’t have to do it alone. We’re not supposed to.” — Becky Beresford

If you’ve ever felt discouraged, isolated, or intimidated by the writing journey, this episode will encourage you to take the next faithful step.

What if building your writer platform didn’t have to feel fake, forced, or exhausting?

In this conversation with Kimberley Grabas, we talk about: • Why most writers approach platform-building backward • The difference between platform, branding, marketing, and tactics • How to identify your ideal reader • Why “niching down” can feel impossible for creative people • How to market your work without becoming pushy or performative • and why the best brands are built from authenticity, not imitation

One of my favorite moments was when Kimberley said creative people naturally resist being squeezed into “a tiny little box.” Instead of flattening your personality, a healthy platform helps you clarify what threads already run through your work.

This episode will especially encourage writers who feel overwhelmed by social media, unsure of their message, or afraid they have “too many interests.”

Not just to produce something. Not just to “get content.”

But because over time, it builds something inside you.

A kind of file cabinet in your mind—

filled with ideas, illustrations, and insights you didn’t even know you’d need.

And when it’s time to write…

you’re not starting from empty.

You’re drawing from a life that’s been paying attention.
