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.

The enemy tempts us. Then shame convinces us to hi The enemy tempts us.
Then shame convinces us to hide.

But God’s first response to human failure wasn’t condemnation.
It was a question: "Where are you?"
Not because He didn’t know.
But because healing requires that we name where we are,
and freedom comes as we choose to bravely step out of hiding.

Why do we hide? Often it starts with something sma Why do we hide?
Often it starts with something small,
a moment of humiliation, rejection, or exposure.
And over time we learn how to protect ourselves.
We perform. We blend in. We build armor.

But long before any of our stories began,
God asked the first humans a question
that still echoes today: "Where are you?"

In this episode, I share a story from growing up in Namibia and explore the quiet ways shame can shape our lives, and the courageous invitation God extends to step out of hiding.
