Singer-Songwriter Cindy Morgan on the Art of Storytelling
I’ve said it many times before, and I’m sure I’ll continue to say it: one of the huge benefits of hosting a podcast is the opportunity to have conversations with amazing people.
Today’s episode is no exception because I was able to interview a singer-songwriter whose music I’ve admired for many years. Her name is Cindy Morgan, and she’s a singer, songwriter, and author who weaves her incredible gift of storytelling into everything she does.
Cindy is a two-time GRAMMY® nominee, a thirteen-time Dove award winner, and a recipient of the prestigious Songwriter of the Year trophy. She has 21 number one radio hits to her credit, and has written songs for notable artists including Vince Gill, India.Arie, Rascal Flatts, Ricky Skaggs, Amy Grant, Glen Campbell, Mandisa, Natalie Grant, Michael W. Smith, Point of Grace, Sandra McCracken, and many others.
In 2017, Cindy’s song “Bird in a Cage” was performed by Robert Redford and Sasha Lazard in the movie Blind starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore. Cindy has authored three books, Barefoot on Barbed Wire, Dance Me, Daddy, and her memoir, How Could I Ask for More, in addition to being a co-creator of the charitable Hymns for Hunger Tour, which has raised awareness and resources for hunger relief organizations across the globe.
Cindy also has a brand-new novel, which just released yesterday. It’s called The Year of Jubilee, and she was kind enough to come on the podcast and share about her storytelling process. Cindy and I talk about her process of writing the novel, her publishing strategy, where to begin and end a novel, the unique soundtrack she developed for the novel, and much more.
This was a wide-ranging conversation. No matter what type of writing you do, you will come away with some amazing insights into the creative and storytelling process!
