470 – Don’t Dread the Send: Simplifying Newsletters with Templates and AIListen InAre you feeling overwhelmed by the tech side of newsletters? In this episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi Lipp returns with guests Roger Lipp and Tenneil Register to demystify email marketing for Christian writers. If you’ve ever wished you could focus on your words instead of wrestling with automation, subject lines, or newsletter templates, you’ll find hope, plenty of laughs, and concrete tools here.
Together, the trio shows how to harness AI for subject lines and structure, why templates keep things simple (and readers coming back), and the heart-centered reasons every busy writer should keep reaching out—even if it’s just once a month. Plus, discover Roger’s secrets for using platforms like MailerLite, Mailchimp, and ConvertKit, and hear Tenneil’s wisdom on showing up authentically (and why your readers would rather see your dog than a new color scheme).

467 – The Surprising Power of Color: Why Your Brand Palette Might Be Holding You Back – Part 2Listen InIn this eye-opening episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi Lipp and branding expert Tenneil Register return to tackle one of the most misunderstood aspects of author branding: color. If you’ve ever struggled to pick a color palette that feels like “you,” or worried that your colors might actually be confusing your readers, you’re not alone.
Kathi shares her own branding mishaps (including a memorable tea-party disaster), and Tenneil breaks down what color psychology really means for writers who want their brand to feel authentic, inviting, and memorable. You’ll get actionable advice on:
– How to identify colors that match the true feeling of your message and audience needs
– Why trendy palettes might be sabotaging your brand—and what to do instead
– How to avoid classic color combo fails (hint: not every red and gold pairing is inspired!)
– Which tools—like Canva and Lightroom—can make branding easier, even if you’re a design novice
– Where to find inspiration and ready-to-use resources to simplify the design process
Plus, you’ll hear real talk about balancing cozy vibes, bold statements, and faith-driven messages, all through the power of color.

462 – Picture Perfect Platform: Social Media Photography for Storyteller – Part 2Listen InWhy Every Writer Needs to Embrace Video (Even If It Feels Scary)
In this continuation of our social media series, Kathi Lipp and brand manager Tenneil Register tackle the intimidating world of video content creation. If you’re a writer who feels overwhelmed by the thought of being on camera, this episode is designed specifically for you.
Many writers feel like they signed up to write, not to become movie producers. But here’s the reality: video content is what audiences are consuming, and it’s what social media algorithms prioritize. The good news? You don’t need to be Steven Spielberg to create content that connects.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why video matters more than you might think for building your platform
- The magic number for video length that works for beginners
- Simple lighting and sound solutions that won’t break the bank
- How to talk to your camera like you’re chatting with your best friend
- Why consistency beats viral content every single time
- Practical editing tools that work for busy writers
- How to boost your creativity when you’re feeling stuck
Tenneil shares practical wisdom about focusing on what you want your viewer to feel rather than see, and Kathi opens up about her own journey from video-phobic to consistently posting content.

First, because I know you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “Why-trup.”
The opportunity to write is the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Through the tumultuous years of my childhood, I lost myself in the stories I read. There, in the world of fiction, I escaped the trauma I faced and found a place of safety and rest. Now, I’m the one writing stories I pray provide a place of hope and comfort for others.
My debut novel, Words, won the Christy Award for best first novel and set me on the path of writing women’s fiction woven around issues many women face, myself included. While Words was loosely based on my childhood, not all my novels are inspired by my own life story. Although, I have written about other issues I’ve struggled with. Regardless of the issue I’m addressing, I work to make my characters emotionally layered, conflicted, yet infused with hope, and sometimes humor. Just like us. My recent release, Convergence, marks a transition from the women’s fiction genre to the suspense genre. But for those of you who’ve enjoyed my women’s fiction titles, not to worry, Convergence will include the elements of hope and healing my novels are known for, along with a setting that reflects the grandeur of creation. When I’m not writing, I thoroughly enjoy working to support writers at wordsforwriters.net.
I love spending time with my two adult sons, Justin and Jared, my daughter-in-law, Stephanie, or with the small circle of dear friends who enrich my life in so many ways. If I can spend time outdoors or gathered around a food-laden table with those I love, it’s even better.
And I can’t forget to mention my constant companion, the “man in my life,” Sir Henry Higgins. The way to my heart? Four paws and fur.

Listen InDo you have questions about using AI as a tool in your writing?
In today’s episode, Kathi Lipp sits down with her agent, Kathleen Kerr, and Roger Lipp to explore the complex and multifaceted role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the publishing industry. As AI continues to revolutionize how authors create, market, and distribute their work, it’s crucial to understand the benefits and ethical considerations surrounding this powerful tool.
The trio discusses the initial fears and misconceptions surrounding AI and the exciting possibilities it offers for authors looking to save time, enhance productivity, and unlock new levels of creativity in their writing process. They emphasize the importance of keeping the human in the loop when utilizing AI tools, ensuring that the final product maintains the author’s unique voice and authenticity while benefiting from AI’s efficiency and idea-generating capabilities.
Kathleen highlights the potential for AI to assist authors in creating compelling titles, outlines, and marketing copy, saving them countless hours that could be better spent on the creative aspects of their work. The conversation also delves into the legal and ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated content and copyright, stressing the importance of responsible AI use and avoiding infringement upon others’ rights.
Looking ahead, Kathi, Kathleen, and Roger discuss the potential for AI to differentiate traditionally published books in a market increasingly saturated with AI-generated content. The human element, the “soul” in writing, will continue to set apart authentic, author-driven works in the age of AI.
Throughout the episode, they offer practical insights and advice for authors looking to incorporate AI into their writing process ethically and effectively. They emphasize the importance of balance–leveraging the power of AI while maintaining the human creativity and soul that make a book truly special.

Listen InAre you tired of feeling overwhelmed by all the courses, programs, and opportunities promising to take your writing career to the next level? In today’s episode, Kathi sits down with business strategist Tonya Kubo to unpack a simple yet powerful framework for making wise investment decisions that align with your unique goals and resources.
Together, they discuss:
- Recognizing the persuasive tactics often used in sales funnels and offers targeting writers
- Determining if a problem is genuinely yours or one introduced by the offer itself
- Examining your awareness of the problem and past attempts to solve it
- Projecting realistic outcomes and required effort 6-12 months out for both “yes” and “no” decisions
- The dangers of making rushed choices based on “limited time offers” or FOMO (fear of missing out)
- Separating emotions from logic and taking a step back to evaluate each opportunity objectively
- Creating personal price point “checkpoints” based on your current business stage and resources
- Treating your writing as a business and making thoughtful investments in your growth
Kathi and Tonya also share real-life examples from their own experiences, illustrating the potential pitfalls of impulsive investments and the benefits of strategic decision-making. Whether you’re considering a high-ticket coaching program, a tempting course bundle, or an exciting speaking opportunity, this episode will equip you with the tools to confidently say “yes” to the right things and “no” to the time- and money-wasters.
By the end of this conversation, you’ll have a clear roadmap for evaluating any writing-related investment that comes your way, ensuring that you’re always moving in the direction of your God-given dreams while stewarding your resources wisely. So, grab a notebook, press play, and get ready to approach your writing career from a fresh perspective!

Listen InIn this episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi sits down with her dear friend Chris Morris to discuss his upcoming book, Resilient and Redeemed: Lessons about Suicidality and Depression from the Psych Ward. Chris shares his personal journey with mental health struggles and how he found the courage to write about his experiences.
Throughout the conversation, Kathi and Chris delve into the challenges of discussing mental health within Christian circles, emphasizing the importance of transparency and authenticity in relationships. Chris introduces the concept of “giving someone the gift of going second,” which involves setting the stage for transparency by choosing to be transparent first.
As an advocate for mental health in the church, Chris has noticed a shift in the nature of conversations he has with people, with some seeking guidance for their own struggles and others attempting to relate through the experiences of others. This creates the potential for pushback and negative feedback that may arise from sharing such a personal story, with Chris expressing his confidence in the God-directed words he has written.
Chris offers advice to aspiring writers who wish to share their own stories, stressing the importance of considering what readers can learn from their experiences that extend beyond the personal narrative.
For those going through this, or who have loved ones going through this, we encourage our listeners to support Chris by purchasing his book and joining his newsletter list for further discussions on mental health and hard topics.

Life can be hard. Although there are moments of beauty and goodness, more often than not, life is marked by fear, struggle, disappointment, and loss. And we don’t know what to do with it. We’ve tried to find hope and security in various people and places–but each has proved unworthy of our trust. We need more. Something–or Someone–who won’t fail us when our world falls apart.
In this book, beloved author and Bible teacher Michele Cushatt presents a better way. By exploring powerful personal, historical, and biblical stories of people of extraordinary faith, she curates and shares ten practices to help you deepen your confidence and certainty in the God who can be trusted with your worry, questions, confusion, and grief. As a woman who has been through immeasurable suffering, she writes with both deep compassion and practical insight as she guides you to:
- Practice lament and process grief without guilt or shame
- Understand what keeps you from trusting God and how to navigate doubt with truth
- Learn simple ways to foster shalom and gratitude on a daily basis
- Develop a fresh, eternal perspective that delivers both peace for today and hope for tomorrow
- Savor daily “faith-builder” practices to strengthen your confidence in God’s love and purposes for you, no matter what happens
There is hope in your hardship and a God who is both with you and for you. These ten practices point the way to the only One you can truly trust, and ultimately, to a faith in him that will not fail.

By exploring powerful personal, historical, and biblical stories of people of extraordinary faith, she curates and shares ten practices to help you deepen your confidence and certainty in the God who can be trusted with your worry, questions, confusion, and grief. As a woman who has been through immeasurable suffering, she writes with both deep compassion and practical insight as she guides you to:
- Practice lament and process grief without guilt or shame
- Understand what keeps you from trusting God and how to navigate doubt with truth
- Learn simple ways to foster shalom and gratitude on a daily basis
- Develop a fresh, eternal perspective that delivers both peace for today and hope for tomorrow
- Savor daily “faith-builder” practices to strengthen your confidence in God’s love and purposes for you, no matter what happens
There is hope in your hardship and a God who is both with you and for you. These ten practices point the way to the only One you can truly trust, and ultimately, to a faith in him that will not fail.

Why is serving your audience so important? And how do you build community around your message?
If you could use some coaching on how to build community with your audience (and future readers), then you are in for a treat! Today Kathi is talking with author, (in)courage Community Manager, and future Red House Writers Collective coach, Becky Keife, who believes that everyone can learn to build, create, and serve others well, no matter their personality or natural gifting.
In this inspiring interview, you will learn the three pillars of building community:
- Be generous. Offer a safe place for people and serve with generosity.
- Be a connector. Know your audience, connect with them, and connect them to others.
- Be an encourager. A word from you can make a real difference in people’s lives.
Becky’s goal as a coach is to see writers who are able to eagerly and confidently serve their community with passion, purpose, and a plan. If you need that, come and join us in the Red House Writers Collective!
The Collective is a day-by-day roadmap that not only shows you exactly what to do to increase your writing but also build your writing business in a way that you’ve always known you could.
Exclusive offer to Kathi’s audience: If you join The Red House Writers Collective by January 6, 2022, you can get 50% off using the coupon code CHECKIN, and you will receive a full access pass to our one-day conference, “Your Path to Published,” on March 23, 2022.
