We talk a lot here about building a writing platform, finding time to write, and organizing our ideas, but how do we actually improve in the craft of writing?
This week I talk with Benjamin Vrbicek, managing editor with Gospel-Centered Discipleship, about some ways to go about doing that. He also explains some of the things that GCD is looking for in the articles they publish.
If you would like to check out the “Writers’ Coaching Corner” videos we talked about in the episode, you can find them here.
