Seven Stages that most books are stuck in

Our publishing team talks to people every day about the book they dream of writing. The desire is there, but it seems that it’s stuck in one stage or another. There are seven stages that most books are stuck in. 

1. The Dream Stage.

You have a dream of writing and becoming an author, but you just don’t know where to begin.

2. The Idea Stage.

You actually have a really good idea–and other people tell you it is–but you’re not sure how to develop it.

3. The Sermon/Message Stage.

You just taught an incredible message and you can’t help but think, “This would make a great book, but how do I develop this message into a book?”

4. The Journal/Notes Stage.

For years you’ve written in a notebook or journal. You have pages and pages of great writing, but how do you trim it down to a single book?

5. The Unfinished Stage.

You’ve started your book, but somewhere along the way you quit or gave up. How do you restart the dream and finish it?

6. The Unedited Stage.

You have a finished manuscript, but you know it needs to be edited.

7. The Payment Stage.

You are finished writing and the only thing you lack is a way to pay for your dream to become reality.

Which one is yours? There is a way to break free if your future book is stuck in one of these seven stages. I want you to know that we are praying for each of you to have a breakthrough this year. Sometimes your greatest breakthrough begins with one small step of faith. If your one small step of faith is in the area of getting your book published, know that you have a partner in Xulon Press.
