From Survival to Story: Carol-Ann Fletcher's CourageousJourney into Faith-Based Writing

In this episode of Created to Write, Tasmanian author and domestic violence advocate Carol-Ann Fletcher delivers one of the most courageous conversations we've had on the show.

Carol-Ann's path into faith-based writing was forged throughpersonal pain. Her history with abusive relationships and the healing she found through faith and recovery ministries became the foundation for a writing mission focused entirely on helping Christian women feel less alone in their struggles.

Her first published work appeared in a divorce recoveryworkbook, proof that every writer starts somewhere, and that somewhere can matter enormously to the right reader. She also shares how her neurodiversity shapes her unique writing process, a refreshing reminder that there is no single right way to write.

For anyone new to writing but sitting on a story that couldchange someone's life, Carol-Ann's message is simple: lean into your faith and seize every opportunity to share it.

About Carol-Ann... I am a follower of Christ who is a lived experience domestic violence advocate and speaker who lives in Tasmania. I am also an online Celebrate Recovery (CR) Australia Zoom Host/Zoom Tech open share leader and step study leader. CR is a Christ-centred ministry based on the Beatitudes of the Bible that is for any issue or struggle. (https://www.celebraterecovery.org.au/home).

I am also a short story author who had my short story published by Christian author, Tracie Miles. My dream is to learn how to write blogs, books and children's books, while learning how to monetise at the same time.

In this episode of Created to Write, host Michelle Dennis Evans invites authors to bring their spiritual life into their creative process. She once laughed at herself mid-worship, realizing she'd assumed praying about her characters was too trivial to matter. Now she argues the opposite - inviting God into your writing isn't a meaningless add-on, it's a meaningful pursuit, especially given literature's power to shape readers for generations. She encourages writers to ask for guidance on plot developments and character arcs, showing how this practice brings both clarity and renewed joy to the work. Faith, she insists, should permeate every part of a writer's life, not just the page.

This episode is a call to persist in your calling as a writer, lean into supernatural inspiration, and enjoy the journey with your creator.

From Journals to Jesus: Katherine Morton's Spirit-Led Journey into Christian Writing

In this episode of Created to Write, Christian author Katherine Morton shares a writing origin story that will resonate with every writer who discovered their calling quietly, in the margins of everyday life.

What began as journaling for stress relief gradually revealed itself as something much bigger: a divine calling to create spiritual literature that moves readers beyond religious ritual into a genuine, personal relationship with Christ. It's faith-based writing with a clear and urgent mission.

Katherine's author process is unhurried and Spirit-led. She considers a project finished only when she experiences a deep internal peace, a standard that prioritises divine direction over deadlines. For any new writer wrestling with when to release their work, her approach offers both wisdom and reassurance.

She also delivers refreshingly straight-talking professional advice, warning aspiring authors about the growing threat of AI-generated content and predatory vanity publishers. Her recommended solution is practical and accessible: self-publishing through Amazon KDP as a secure, cost-effective path to sharing your message with the world.

Resilience, discernment, and a willingness to be led. Katherine Morton's story is a quiet masterclass in all three.
