Want to Write a Book? This is for You:

Maybe this describes you:

·         You’re a stay-at-home mom to little ones, and you have an idea for a children’s book that nobody has written yet, and you want to write it.

·         God gives you vivid dreams in the night, and those dreams have inspired a story you want to publish.

·         You’ve had an unusual life experience and you want to share your story in a memoir.

·         You write hilarious yet insightful Facebook posts, and your friends are begging you to turn your stories into a book, but you don’t know what steps to take next.

·         You have begun writing a novel, and you want to finish it and share it with the world.

·         You’re writing a devotional or a Bible study curriculum, but you don’t know how to get it into people’s hands.

·         You have a teacher’s heart, and want to consolidate your thoughts into a book that you can easily distribute. 

The above scenarios are based on conversations I’ve had with people in the past year, so I know that there are many soon-to-be authors out there who simply need a nudge.

You might think that your story is not interesting. You might think that your testimony is not dramatic

or exciting. However, no matter what you feel, every story is worth sharing when God is the Author. Although God gives us liberty to make decisions in this “story” of our lives, at the same time, Psalm 139:16 says, “…all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” He truly is the Author of life. A message I keep hearing from other Christians is that we need to share our stories. I fully agree that we should.

Although many people dream of one day writing a book, it seems that very few follow through with writing and publishing their words. Never has becoming a published author been so achievable, yet it still requires effort. Traditional publishing houses remain competitive, but independent publishing is attainable. If you have considered writing a book, then why not start now? 

If you're thinking "this is me!" then I've written a book intended for you.
