After you have written your powerful message, the two important tools at your disposal that will help you sell your book are your book cover and book description. The book cover can either draw a reader in or push them away. It is the book’s billboard. It works 24/7 on behalf of the author’s message inside. It should be professional it causes expectation in the reader's mind. ​

As a Christian and a writer, do you only write for the Christian market? Do you only read stories that can only be found primarily in Christian bookstores? Do you believe that writing or reading Christian fiction is a sin? In your opinion, what makes a book a Christian book?

The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is your book’s identification number or fingerprint. It is a 13-digit number, not a bar code. ISBNs are calculated using a specific mathematical formula and include a check digit to validate the number. ISBN information is embedded in the bar codes on the backs of books.

You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NKJV)

I completed my first book Put The Word In Your Mouth in 2004, then life began to happen, I became distracted and I procrastinated on launching the very book that God had told me to write. Then in 2008 my computer was wiped out and I lost the book. After I got over the devastation of the loss the desire to publish the book burned even more. ​

Our memories are woven deeply within us. They have helped define who we are today. We all have experienced anger, sadness, shame, grief, guilt, and fear. Sometimes we just want to move on and get past it. In writing your testimony or memoir revisiting old emotions and writing about former crisis situations is possibly one of the most challenging yet therapeutic things we can do. I've learned that writing is another form of therapy. Although it may be difficult, you can write yourself out of the stuck place.

Anointed Scribes Café is a Facebook Group for Christian writers who have expressed interest in writing and self-publishing a book or in upping their writing game. I started the group because I talk with so many who have been taken advantage of trying to self-publish their book, and with people who have questions about writing and self-publishing a book, but didn’t know how. ​

Dear Christian Writer when I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind. I was reminded of the warfare Christian Writers go through. I am a Christian Writer who helps other Christian Writers, share their God-given message to the world through books. Almost every time I speak with some who says they are ready to write and publish their book, something happens, and they become discouraged, their finances are attacked, or some type of chaos appears in their world.

This is a common question that I get from aspiring authors often. If you are self-publishing, you are in control. My answer is it depends on the genre. Your final page count in the final book can vary greatly depending on formatting choices: margins, fonts, linespacing, graphics, white space, and so on. Here is a guideline that you can use:

The back cover copy you write for your book is an important marketing message for your book. In few paragraphs it should express the essence of your book to the reader. It may also serve as the basis for your online book descriptions, as well as any press releases or pitches you make to the media and other purposes. These words, if written well, will hook the reader and compel them to purchase your book. This is why most authors find it so hard to write the back-cover copy.  Here are some tips that will help with that:

​Book buyers judge books by their covers and when buyers browse the book prior to purchase and see a poorly designed interior and cover, a seemingly unedited book they usually put it down thinking the book has no value regardless of how great the message is.
