Episode Details

On this inspiring episode of the Authority on Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Margaret Philbrick, author of Caravaggio, to explore what it takes to build a story from deep research, protect a creative vision, and trust the writing process.

Margaret Philbrick reveals how research serves as the “scaffolding” for her characters and plots, why she refused to compromise the artistic vision for Caravaggio, and why authors shouldn’t become consumed by bestseller lists or predetermined outcomes.

Key Takeaways:

• Let research give your story depth and direction.

• Stand firm when your creative vision matters.

• Build characters from powerful historical inspiration.

• Stop forcing an outcome and let your work find its audience.

✨ Your job is to create the best work you can—not control how the world responds to it. Trust your vision, stay committed to the work, and give your story room to breathe.
