How to use Reedsy to Independently Publish Your Book

The term “self-publishing” doesn’t mean that you sit in a cabin in the woods all by yourself and emerge with a published book as if you’d done it all singlehandedly.It’s rare to find one person who has all the skills required to turn an idea into a physical book. We need cover designers, formatters, web designers, assistants, and more. You might be self-publishing, but you will need some help.But what if you don’t know anyone who can help?

Platform Overrated?

You’re probably tired of hearing that you need a large platform to be a successful author.Some industry professionals believe having a large platform is equivalent to having a large social media following.If you’ve been listening to the Christian Publishing Show or Novel Marketing, you know that having a social media following doesn’t necessarily mean you have a platform. Nor does it mean you’ll sell more books than someone not on social media.In fact, sometimes people sell more books by spending less time on social media.Authors hear me say, “Your social media following isn’t very important.” But when they talk to a literary agent or publisher, those people care about social media numbers.How do you navigate this platform predicament?I asked Mary DeMuth, literary agent and author of more than 50 books. She’s been in the Christian publishing industry for 20 years and recently wrote about how author platform is broken.In this episode, you’ll learnThe history behind the prominence of author platformHow the author-platform landscape is changingYour biggest advantage in a digital worldListen in or read the blog version to learn how to navigate the author platform predicament and what you can do to help change the status quo in the publishing industry.

April 8, 2020 at 9:05 am

Shelley, I published a Christian Modern allegory Novel using KDP, after failure to get anything but Christian Publishers offering Joint/Shared Publications. Research validates this to be a one sided money maker for the Publisher. Profession Editors loved the book and thinks it is very good. Now I have a Amazon book title HellCniht – A Demon Speaks without publicity or an affordable campaign. Free advertising for a good Christian book is a thing of the past. Christian advertising without big cash seems impossible. Any Solutions?

What are your respective church backgrounds? What is Christian Writer’s Groups denominational background? What are your doctrinal beliefs?

May 11, 2022 at 10:18 am

Right now we attend a non-denominational church, but I grew up in the Church of God from Anderson, Indiana and CJ grew up in a Baptist church. We follow Jesus and believe in being led by the Holy Spirit and have people from many denominations in our community.

Course Syllabus

Spiritual Writing

Find the balance between the personal and the powerful, and learn how to share your thoughts with readers of differing beliefs or traditions..

This class will ask what, if anything, can make nonfiction writing “spiritual.” You will read selections from essays and memoirs in the spiritual writing genre and try composing your own versions of this material. How can we write about something so personal and powerful and share it with an audience of differing beliefs or traditions? How do writers move beyond saccharine sentimentality to illuminate a truth? You will choose a spiritual question or subject to explore in depth by writing two 500-word pieces and one article/essay of up to 3,500 words. The course will provide tips and inspiration for getting started, gathering material, and revising your work for publication. Writers from all backgrounds and faiths are welcome.

How it works:

Each week provides:

• discussions of assigned readings and other general writing topics with peers and the instructor
• written lectures and a selection of readings

Some weeks also include:

• writing prompts and/or assignments
• opportunities to submit a full-length essay for instructor and/or peer review (up to 3,500 words)
• optional video/tele conferences that are open to all students in Week 2 (and which will be available afterwards as a recording for those who cannot participate)

To create a better classroom experience for all, you are required to participate weekly to receive instructor feedback on your work. 

Week 1: Shaping the Spiritual

This week will cover how writers working in the genre might define and describe “spiritual writing.” You’ll take a look at how the body, culture, or identity might shape the parameters of a story or your approach. We’ll also explore the ways in which writing itself can serve as spiritual practice, both playful and prayerful. To get the juices flowing, you will have the option to write a short piece (up to 500 words) to share with the class, and you will choose a subject for your primary assignment.

Week 2: Framing the “I” in Faith

You’ll confront challenges of placing individual perspectives of faith—so close to the heart—on the page as art. Often, we do not speak of spiritual or religious subjects because they can be just as divisive as inclusive, as sappy as salient. How can you mine your relationship to belief without alienating readers or losing the complexity that marks lived experience, particularly in the realm of emotion? You’ll consider how form, voice, or narrative distance can frame such issues in creative ways. In preparation for the primary assignment, you will have the option to write another short piece (up to 500 words) to share with the class.

Week 3: Engaging the Other

Spiritual writing often engages people, places, or things that perplex, disturb, or mystify, and that draw us out of ourselves. Whether you face a religious institution’s complicated history, a family tradition, a desert, or a baffling stranger, you encounter uncertainty in stuff seen and unseen. You’ll imagine how to embrace such tensions with the “Other” in your work, and the ways in which you might incorporate disparate backdrops or backgrounds without losing the personal element or narrative momentum. You will also submit your primary assignment (an essay/article of up to 3,500 words).

Week 4: Speaking to You

Martin Buber writes that you “not only speak of God but also speak to him,” and Madeleine L’Engle adds that you don’t love in general, you love in particular—to live a spiritual life means risking closer communion with each other, with the earth, with the divine. You’ll study how writers might embody such desire—and its difficulties—through character or charism, prophecy or plea. You will also have the option of sharing your primary assignment with a small group of classmates for peer review.

Week 5: Re-Seeing and Representing Your Work

This week will cover techniques to revise and sharpen a spiritual writing piece to make it ready for publication. We’ll discuss best practices for submitting work to journals but also consider the bigger picture: allowing for risk and even failure, loving the roadblocks, and sustaining a practice.

An Overview of the IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to measure English proficiency for educational, vocational and immigration purposes. The IELTS measures an individual's ability to communicate in English across four areas of language: listening , reading , writing and speaking . The IELTS is administered jointly by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment at over 1,100 test centres and 140 countries. These test centres supervise the local administration of the test and recruit, train and monitor IELTS examiners.

IELTS tests are available on 48 fixed dates each year, usually Saturdays and sometimes Thursdays, and may be offered up to four times a month at any test centre, including Elektrostal' depending on local needs.
