In 2005, Seitz founded Glass Road Public Relations, a firm committed to promoting story-driven works with uplifting themes. It was a pioneer in its field, securing coverage for novelists on The Today Show, USA Today, Southern Living, The 700 Club, National Public Radio, Good Housekeeping, BookPage, Moody Radio, and numerous newspapers and radio shows. At the request of its clients, Glass Road expanded in 2010 to offer publishing and agenting services to writers, changing its name to Glass Road Media & Management. The first book published under the GR imprint, Nancy Zieman’s Seams Unlikely, won Book of the Year from Book Fun Magazine.

In its nine years, Glass Road worked with Tyndale, Zondervan, Waterbrook-Multnomah, David C Cook, Charisma, Barbour Books, Baker Books, Howard/Simon & Schuster, Hachette Books, Moody Publishing, Guideposts Books, AMG Publishers, B&H Publishing, NavPress, Worthy Books and others. Its writer clients populated bestseller lists from the New York Times to USA Today. In January 2014, Seitz donated Glass Road to the nonprofit SON.

Rebeca began her career by serving as the first dedicated publicist for the fiction division of Thomas Nelson Publishers, one of the Top Ten Publishers in the World and now a division of HarperCollins Publishers. She is also a published novelist and memoirist: Prints Charming (Thomas Nelson), Sisters, Ink; Coming Unglued, Scrapping Plans, Perfect Piece (all B&H Publishing Group/LifeWay), First Blush and Second Glance (independent) and Lights Out (with Travis Freeman, BelieversPress).

Rebeca has been interviewed or featured on NPR, CNN, Huffington Post Live, The Glenn Beck Show, The Blaze, The Washington Times, WorldNetDaily, FOX News, Townhall.com, and others. The former Family Research Council Witherspoon Fellow for Media and University of Tennessee University Scholar holds a Master of Arts in Mass Communication and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Political Science.

Rebeca lives in Naples, Florida, with her long-suffering husband, their two incredibly fabulous children, a rescued chocolate chihuahua (who may be a Russkiey toy – she’s not talking), a rescued tabby (who’s keeping a close eye on the Mexican/Russian dog), two cockatiels (who got here by accident after starring in one of Rebeca’s productions), and a partridge in a pear tree (kidding…for now).

I've read that many authors advise sitting down and writing anyway, even if what you write is going to be completely deleted the next day. That method did not work for me. I just grew more frustrated as I typed words I knew to be unworthy.

So, when it isn't flowing, what works for me is to step away for a bit. Do something else. I make sure that I'm clear on the problem (e.g. I've written the heroine into a corner, the problem isn't becoming clear, the climax is coming too soon, the story feels boring) and then I let my brain subconsciously do its thing while I clean or work on a different project. It has always proven faithful to provide me a solution in due time. (less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

I will never forget when FIRST BLUSH was produced into a TV pilot. Former Disney showrunner Bob Burris and I wrote the script, which was based on my novella. On the first day of principal photography, Bob and I were sitting in Video Village when we heard the first, "Quiet on the set..." followed by, "Action!"

And then magic happened.

A character that had only lived in my mind until that moment walked into the real world and spoke words I put into her mouth.

The realization of my power as a writer hit me as both horrifying and exhilarating. Who was I to be putting ideas into the world like this?! Shouldn't I need to get a license or go through some vetting first?

Fast forward a few months and I stood in the back of a darkened theater as the show played on a giant screen. A few seconds in, a character spoke my words and the audience laughed.

They laughed!

I'd legitimately brought a moment of joy into a life purely through words!

I've thought often of those two moments. Prior to them, I'd taught at writers conferences all over the country and extolled the power of stories to inspire, encourage, and urge us toward good, healthy, happy living. I don't think I truly got it, though, until then.

When a precious reader holds one of my novels or novellas in hand and lets the gaze flow across those words that didn't exist before my fingers danced on a keyboard...there is magic happening. It isn't just my power to wield because the reader has to be present, too, but it is powerful and I am a part of it. I'm so unworthy of that, but it's true just the same.

I don't know if that power is the best or worst thing about being a writer - but it's definitely a thing I try to honor and put toward best use. (less)
