In this inspiring episode of Created to Write, host Michelle Dennis Evans interviews Ruth Saw—a corporate trainer, Gallup-certified Strengths coach, and international bestselling author from Singapore. Ruth shares her powerful journey from self-doubt to Amazon bestseller success, offering hope and practical wisdom for aspiring authors, faith-based writers, and anyone writing through life’s hardest seasons.

Key Takeaways

• Overcoming Writer’s Self-Doubt: Despite failing English in school, Ruth pushed past insecurity and wrote her first book, Clarity Is Power, during a career transition and the COVID-19 pandemic. To her surprise, it became an Amazon bestseller on launch day—proof that your past doesn’t define your writing future.
• Writing for Impact, Not Just Achievement: Ruth reveals how her motivation shifted from personal success to transforming lives. One reader came to faith after reading a salvation prayer in her book; another experienced breakthrough in both career and family.
• Writing Through Grief & Faithfulness: She opens up about the painful season surrounding her father’s passing, which initially stalled a book project on communion and healing. Through her grief, God healed her heart first—enabling her to publish Dancing With My King and later complete the communion book in her father’s honor.
• Encouragement for Aspiring Authors: Ruth’s advice is freeing: relieve the pressure by writing for yourself first. Treat the writing process as a personal journey of healing, discovery, and partnership with God.

Whether you’re battling self-doubt, writing through grief, chasing your first bestseller, or seeking to create books that change lives, this conversation delivers honest encouragement and faith-filled wisdom every Christian writer and aspiring author needs to hear.
