In this episode of Created to Write, author Jacquelane Cox shares a refreshingly honest look at what it means to pursue Christian writing as a divine calling rather than just acareer.

Her first traditional publishing success came from a spontaneous conference pitch, a reminder to every Christian writer that preparation and opportunity have a habit ofcolliding when you least expect it.

Jacquelane views her stories as a way to reflect God's love, crafting wholesome, redemptive narratives that leave readers with hope. She also speaks candidly about imposter syndrome, pointing to faith and community as the antidote to the isolation and self-doubt that plague so many Christian authors.

Her advice to aspiring writers is simple: write consistently, build your people, and trust the calling.

After a brief incognito phase involving two uni degrees and a secret stash of hidden manuscripts, Jacquelane Cox finally traded her professional cap for motherhood and storylines! She is the voice behind the middle-grade/early YA relatable reads Runaway and Smarty-pants, and the author of the romance novella The Colours of Orange (a modern women’s fic, with a dash of romance inspired by the story of Ruth and Naomi). She also authored the heartfelt picture book Remember When, inspired by her grandmothers and the power of love that outlasts memory. Catch her sharing life snippets and the occasional meme between chapters.
