Book in Bloom

Do you have a book tucked away in you?

Maybe you’ve heard it repeatedly… “you should write a book!“.

Perhaps the dream to write has burned deep down in your soul for more years than you can recall.

It shouldn’t surprise us. We were designed to design…and created to create!

How ever that dream has bubbled up…you are not alone.

According to a national survey taken a few years ago, 82% of Americans say they want to write a book. That’s an astounding 8 out of 10 people who have a book in them. But only a small percentage of people actually ever pull it off.

Why? Well, while their personal “why” may vary, the bottom line is: it’s a daunting process. To put it lightly.

If the actual extraction of the narrative and penning of the words weren’t intimidating enough, there’s the giant “what do I do now?” that occurs once your manuscript nears completion. Could it be that you haven’t even started because the whole process IS so downright overwhelming.

Maybe you’ve already written your story, and like countless others, your manuscript lies dormant on your hard-drive or in a desk drawer somewhere.

Throw in the intricate workings of the traditional publishing route, and it’s no wonder so few books emerge from that 82 percent.

It wasn’t that long ago that aspiring authors had to spend precious long months preparing proposals, writing chapter samples and hunting for an agent in their desperate attempt to get past the gatekeepers of the publishing industry.

Not anymore.

With the best indie publishing tools at our fingertips, we live in the greatest day and age to self-publish (click here for the top 10 reasons why you should self-publish your book).

What if you could have someone come alongside you to help give birth to this dream?

Someone who’s blazed the same trail you’re headed out on, who has discovered the most colorful route, along with some common pitfalls to avoid. Someone who can champion your journey and help you reach that destination with your sanity intact and your soul still singing.

THAT IS WHAT BOOK IN BLOOM IS ALL ABOUT.

“Great is the art of beginning,

but greater is the art of ending”

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Who is BOOK IN BLOOM for?

•  The aspiring author who longs to write and release a book and doesn’t know where to start

•  The indie author who has a completed manuscript sitting in a desk drawer somewhere and is unsure of how to get it into the hands of the public

•  The seasoned author who’s been writing for years and recognizes the benefits of self-publishing over working with a traditional publishing house

•  Any smart author who realizes the enormous difference between writing a good book…and marketing a good-looking book

BOOK IN BLOOM can bring life to your book no matter what stage it’s in.

Like a midwife for book delivery, I’ll come alongside you and help breathe life into the embryonic dream in your heart. And then, together, we’ll clean that sucker up and present it to the world in epic Lion King fashion. Gloriously alive and kicking.

BIB-AB-Testimony

Maybe your book is fully developed, and just needs to be dressed.  We’ve got your back.

PRESENTING YOUR BABY WITH PRIDE

While the saying may go, “don’t judge a book by its cover”, the reality is…we all do.  And because a book cover instantly communicates the core message of your book, it should do it creatively, with excellence, and in a way that grabs your reader’s attention.

BIB-SC-Testimony

Nutshell version: an eye-catching, professionally designed book is your most effective sales tool.

Okay, so your cover looks great.  What about the inside?

Nobody likes reading a poorly formatted book.  You may have poured yourself into your manuscript, but if it isn’t laid out in an attractive, easy to read way, you risk losing readers before you’ve swept them up with your brilliant content.

BIB-SWG-Testimony

You may have already discovered that there’s a massive chasm between being able to weave your words together beautifully…and being able to package and market them. Writing a book is only one piece of the puzzle, albeit a substantial one. It doesn’t matter how well your book is written, if it doesn’t look good – and isn’t marketed strategically – it just won’t sell.

And spelling errors? Grammatical issues? Goodness. Let’s just say, an eagle-eye editor is worth their weight in gold.

We’ve got some of those for you too.

THE BEST THING ABOUT TEAMING UP WITH BOOK IN BLOOM IS…

BY THE TIME YOUR BOOK IS EDITED, FORMATTED, PRELAUNCHED & MARKETED – AND IS ALL WRAPPED UP IN A WELL-DESIGNED COVER FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE – YOU WON’T OWE US YOUR FIRST-BORN CHILD.

(and that is news worth celebrating!)

Your story matters.

Let BOOK in BLOOM help you bring it to life.

Sometimes praise is the most rebellious act of hop Sometimes praise is the most rebellious act of hope we have left.

🎙️ Episode 3 of Oh, Good Grief | The Podcast is live.

In this week’s episode, The Sound of Surrender, we’re talking about what happens when we worship through the wilderness, and the way gratitude reshapes our view of God, of ourselves, and of the desert we’re walking through.

🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

God is never careless with the pruning knife. If H God is never careless with the pruning knife.
If He allows something to fall away, we can trust His heart,
that it is ultimately for our good,
and for His glory.

Sometimes God prunes what is still alive. Not beca Sometimes God prunes what is still alive.
Not because He is cruel, but because He is kind.

It’s unbelievably hard to walk away from something that was once deeply fruitful. But when a season ends and God lifts His grace from that role, relationship, or project, lingering often hurts far more than leaving.

Trust His heart for you in the pruning. 🌱
He cuts with purpose, and always with love.

I stumbled across the word I chose and lettered fo I stumbled across the word I chose and lettered for 2023. Held. I thought it might reopen old ache. Instead, it reminded me of the deeper song beneath our hardest seasons: even in the unraveling, we were held.

And as a new year unfolds, that truth feels like a steadying hand.

Here’s to beginnings that hum with mercy...
sunrises, blankets of white snow,
seasons turning quietly toward hope. 

Dream bravely.
Plan loosely.
Take the next small step.
Try again.

Be tender with yourself.
Honor the slow work of becoming.
And step into this year knowing—
you are held.
As we stand on the edge of a new year, remember th As we stand on the edge of a new year, remember this:
God doesn’t prune to prove a point;
He prunes to produce fruit.

Trust the precision and the heart
of the Master Gardener.

What felt like loss this past year
may have been His clearing away of the old
to make room for the new.

For the person who doesn’t love journaling but doe For the person who doesn’t love journaling but does love growth…the R•EVOLVE Journal was created to make the practice simple, sustainable, and meaningful.

Five lines a day - small enough to fit into real life, yet rich enough to capture the joys, struggles, prayers, answered prayers, and all the quiet in-between spaces.

Some seasons change us so subtly we miss the beauty of what’s unfolding. This little rhythm helps you notice it, and hold it.

All seven cover designs are available on Amazon or in the Simply Bloom Co. shop

If you live in Central Michigan, I'm happy to connect with you and get one into your hands so you can start journaling sooner.

we can trust His heart for us.

His love remains unchanging,

is the very one preparing you
for what’s ahead.

Take heart, dear one.

Your story isn’t stalled,
it’s being strengthened
in ways you can’t see yet.
