podcasts for writers

At UHP, we obviously love books. We also love music, and we’ve given you our recommendations for both of those. There’s another medium of storytelling we haven’t yet talked about on the blog, but one that we really love: podcasts for writers.

First of all, if you haven’t yet explored the podcasting world, we think you’re missing out. There are a ton of podcasts on all your favorite listening apps, and you can find them on just about any topic. There are even podcasts out there specifically for writers. Furthermore, writers who love Jesus.

Here are our recommendations for podcasts that writers will love. Make sure you read to the end; you’ll see some special episodes featuring members of the UHP team!

Testimonials

  • Taylor Phillips, author of Training Ground

    United House Publishing was 100% an answer to prayer. I knew that God called me to write books, but I wasn't in a good position to publish according to certain industry expectations. I continued to be faithful, knowing God would make a way. AND HE DID. United House is such a champion for the underdog—for the one who doesn't have a huge platform but wants to be obedient to God. I was so blessed by the process from start to finish. From the heart and help of the revision team, to editing, coaching, and everything in between. United House was, and is, an incredible company to be part of!

  • Bridget Singleton, author of Mimo’s Welcome

    United House Publishing is absolutely GREAT to work!  I previously published a book alone... and it was so hard.  But UHP gives support like no other!  When they say they are praying over you and your work, you KNOW it!  The author coaches I have worked with have been awesome.  Not only do they help you set and crush your writing goals, they also help you pursue wellness in all aspects of your life, and you can't put a price tag on that!

  • Wendy Perry, author of The Battle Within

    God gave me the words to write a book and then He sent me to the perfect place to publish it—United House Publishing! The thought of editing and publishing a book was new and overwhelming. However, through God's peace and directing me to UHP the whole process was made easier. I felt "safe" and "at ease" sharing the story God gave me to UHP, because they treated me and my manuscript with respect. I'm thankful I obeyed God and worked with UHP to publish my very first book.

  • Gina Rodriguez, author of Teacher Tired

    As a person who has NEVER considered herself a writer, it is no shock I was in need of help when I felt led to publish my first book.  I am so blessed that I was referred to UHP.  I started my writing journey so afraid of the process, not sure where to start or what to expect. It was such a huge relief to have a team of authentic writers, editors, mentor me along the way as I pushed back fears of intimidation that tried to stop me.  With UHP I found my writing voice. The monthly coaching calls were especially important to keep me going when idleness or doubt crept in (because it will).  Having UHP to pray with me, refine my writing skills and keep me accountable made all the difference between beginning to write a book to actually finishing it!

  • Jessica Bishop, author of Collision

    The reason why I love UNITED HOUSE Publishing is because all you have to do is write, and they take care of the rest. It's simple and I LOVE IT!

  • Dianne Wyper, author of Shattered

    UNITED HOUSE Publishing has been like the roadblock-remover to my dreams and my calling. It's because of them that I have got to become all I have dreamed of: An Author!
