The next few posts will deal with self-publishing your book.
If you're a writer, or
have dreams of becoming one someday, chances are pretty good you've heard of
the term "self-publishing."
You may even know something about the publishing or self-publishing
industry itself. In the past, your
self-publishing efforts may consist of printing 10 originals on your home computer's laser jet printer. Or your efforts may extend to establishing
your own book publishing and distribution company.
Or maybe you just want
to write a book for yourself, as a legacy gift to your family, a memoir of
specific events in your life or someone else's life, a collection of
grandmother's quotes, or the next blockbuster book.
I
wrote "Bible Miracles: 32 Daily
Devotions and Journal to Inspire Today's Woman" The title tells it all.
Someone asked "why
did you write a religious book, a devotional instead of a romance, mystery or
other type of non-fiction book?
Something that would make a lot of money?"
I say, money definitely has its rewards. But, I'm hoping for "heavenly rewards"
instead.
Writers write what's in
their hearts. Write what's in your heart, what you
have a passion for, instead of trends. Trends are here today and gone
tomorrow….But your passion remains. My
passion is inspiration in all its forms, mainly for women but for men
also. So many women are walking around
feeling inferior, stressed out, financially strapped, lonely, oppressed, depressed.
I know because I was one of them.
