Notes from this episode:
Opportunities for aspiring writers have expanded exponentially, the path of self-publishing emerges as a divine direction for those seeking to share their message.
One compelling reason to choose self-publishing is the control it gives to authors. Unlike traditional publishing, where creative decisions often rest in the hands of others, self-publishing allows you to shape your vision, design your cover, and market your book according to your unique perspective. It’s a chance to stay true to your message and connect authentically with your audience.
Financially, self-publishing offers the advantage of earning money through book royalties. In contrast to traditional publishing contracts, which could postpone the impact of your words on people’s lives for 3 to 5 years, self-publishing enables a quicker turnaround.
Self-publishing is not just a way to get your book into the hands of readers faster; it can also be a powerful means to fulfill your calling. By reaching more readers with your message, you have the potential to impact lives in ways you may not have imagined. It becomes a ministry, a purposeful journey where your words can bring hope, inspiration, and positive change to those who need it.
Choosing the path of self-publishing requires courage to take steps of faith and be open to the twists and turns of life. Often, unexpected journeys lead to fulfilling careers in writing and publishing. By embracing the unknown, you open yourself up to possibilities that align with your calling and purpose.
As you embark on this journey, remember that it’s not just about books; it’s about fulfilling your calling and impacting lives through the written word. Embrace the divine direction of self-publishing and discover the fulfilling career that awaits you.
