EP 53: How To Write Your Book Without Spending A Dime

from Minister's Toolbox · host Casey Sabella

You have more material than most professional authors. You spend multiple hours per week writing sermons to bless your congregations. Each sermon is potentially a chapter for one or more books. You can write, design and publish a book in a matter of days with the simple tools of today’s technology. During today's podcast I share the simple steps you can take to publish it at little or no cost. Thousands of new authors give up after receiving a boatload of rejection letters. With Amazon, those days are gone. You can write your book in Microsoft Word and download it to Amazon. In moments, you will have a formatted book ready to publish. In addition to a paperback and Kindle, you can also create an audiobook for free as well.  Since we are talking today about writing books, I would be remiss to not mention my first book entitled, When A Good Church Goes Bad. It contains both my testimony and help for anyone who has been hurt by their church experience. It is a great book for people in your church who have taken to the back row and refuse to get involved because of a negative church exp On today's show, we spoke about many free resources you can use to publish your own book. Create Space is the first I mentioned, a division of Amazon. For book covers, you should bookmark Canva to do free design work. To hire someone to do it for you, there is Fiverr and also 99 Designs. For audiobooks, there is ACX. If you need to purchase a microphone, I recommend the ATR 2100 which can be plugged into your computer. You can read the first three chapters of my new book here.
