This has been a key part of my success as a writer getting the input and feedback from trusted friends and experienced leaders in the field the book is focused on. Get Feedback and Input on your manuscript draft Note on Book Length: My books are around 20k words, but research your topic and audience to set a general direction on how long you want your book to be. Even if it’s just 30 min a day, you’ll be impressed by how fast the book begins to come together. This was the biggest help to me as a writer, don’t try to wait for a big writing weekend or getaway or try to wait for inspiration. Now that you have the chapters in mind then you’ll be able to pull insight and content from everyday life. You’ll find that the content flows more quickly now that you have the chapter focus and direction. Now that you have the strong outline, then you begin filling in each of those chapters. Then adjust and shift the chapters and sub-points until I’m excited about the direction and flow of the book. I begin with a chapter outline, then add in 1 or 2 bullet points under each chapter to flesh out a little more clarity. This can change as you go, but if you begin with this approach then it will help bring better clarity to the flow of the book.

The more focused this is the more effective your book will be.īefore you begin trying to write a full chapter, begin by doing a basic chapter outline for the whole book. Who is this book focused on? What’s your target age, gender, occupation, calling? What do you have experience in to be able to add value to a conversation?
What problem do you see needing to be solved in the world around you? What are you passionate about? What is God speaking to you about?

This article and checklist are aimed at my self-publishing process, the steps are slightly different when trying to get your book published through a mainstream publisher. I still have a long way to go in the writing and publishing world, but I've been getting more requests on my process of writing and publishing so I wanted to offer some quick support. I initially self-published it so I’m familiar with the self-publishing process and it was later picked up by a publisher, so I’ve seen that side of publishing as well and I hope to offer some help and support for you on your writing and publishing journey.įor reference, here’s my current Published & Self Published works: ( View All)ĭavid & The Giant Onion (Illustrated kids book) It was the right message that hit a niche and needed market. I was blessed to have my first book, Following Jesus, be a top seller that has been sold and distributed to over 300,000 people in 4 languages and 8+ countries. I love writing in all forms from social media and blogs to articles and fully published books, each are their own challenge and each has their own opportunity to make a lasting impact on people. “Writers aren't just those who are good with words, but those called to give words to a generation!”
