This episode is part of the Finisher series. We originally recorded these teachings inside our Christian Book Academy Facebook group as live videos. However, we wanted to also encourage you in the writing, publishing, and marketing of your books.

Today's topic is: Publishing a Book is a Privilege, not a Pressure

Scriptures:

- Esther 4:14 NLT

- 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NLT

Join us the next two days for our 24-hour prayer vigil here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2518168251755872/

One of the most common things we see with new writers is that they are confused about how publishing works and the steps required.

Therefore, I drew out a visual Publishing Map to help explain and simplify the process. And the members in our academy for writers LOVE it!

It helps eliminate the overwhelm and shows you the exact steps you need to take next. Therefore, we wanted to share it with you too.
