  • Fountain of God-inspired wisdom

    I’m so thankful I found Thomas’s two podcasts and hope to join his community soon. His wisdom far exceeds so much else that is out there. Another positive is that he consciously speaks, altering his tone, so we don’t drift off and miss all the good stuff he shares.

  • Excellent thoughts and advice for authors on all things related to writing. Overtly Christian (as you might have guessed from the title), and does not hesitate to quote scripture and approach the subject from a Christian worldview.

  • Fantastic podcast!

    I found and began listening to Christian Publishing Show a few months ago. It was so relevant, informative, and entertaining that I began binging the old episodes and became a patron of Author-Media. Awesome job Thomas Umataddt Jr!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Write Endings Readers Can't Stop Talking About
Q: What makes a romantic story's ending satisfying?
The ending must feel earned, based on the challenges the characters faced, and should resonate with the readers' emotional investment in the characters.
How to Write Endings Readers Can't Stop Talking About
Q: So why are endings so important in fiction?
Because it's a story. God himself created each of us to have a story. Our story has a beginning, a middle, it has conflict, it has wonderful things that happen to us.
AI Tools for Authors (Writing Off Social Crosscast)
Q: Do you think AI is a friend or foe?
AI is a powerful tool that can be used for good, and authors should learn how to use it wisely rather than reject it outright.
Why Every Author Should Try Writing a Mystery at Least Once
Q: How do you approach writing a mystery?
I usually know three things when I start: who the victim is, who the murderer is, and how it was done, then I map it out to see connections and motivations.
Why Every Author Should Try Writing a Mystery at Least Once
Q: How do you develop empathy for your reader?
You have to pull yourself out of the story enough that you feel like you're reading it for the first time, especially when you're doing revisions.
