Some Bible translations (e.g., KJV, NIV, NKJV/NLT) allow limited quoting with proper attribution. Always check each publisher’s current guidelines and add the required credit lines on your copyright page.Protect your film assets. Use watermarks, respect contracts, and avoid uncontrolled distribution of screeners.Budget for access. Captioning/translation often priced per minute (e.g., ~$3–$4/min)—plan accordingly.Right-size your book. If you exceed the target word count (e.g., 20k), move tables/activities to a workbook and keep the main text tight.Choose collaborations that coach. Look for projects that include feedback loops, editing, and author education—not just “submit and go.”Featured Projects & MentionsFilm: Choices — Episode 1 released; Premiere: Sept 21 @ 7:00 PM EST (Eventbrite ticket required; screening via Zoom).
