Ways to Market Your Book for Free

Read Now
 
Millions of books are self-published each year worldwide. Most authors sell about 300 copies, while a small percentage go on to become huge successes.

I Want to Write A Book But How Do I Start?

Read Now
 
One question I get asked often is: how do I start writing a book? Well, the way I started each of my books was to write what was in my heart (the Holy Spirit speaking). My books are nonfiction, so that is what I can speak to.

When God Calls You To Publish Books

Picture
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. ​

I've learned that writing is another form of therapy. Although it may be difficult, you can write yourself out of the stuck place.

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 Back Cover Copy Is A Marketing Tool

Read Now
 
Picture
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:
