Proprietary 9-Step Method

The Joyful life publishing's proprietary method transforms writers who dream of being a published author into being a published author. From the first inspired thought to the bookshelf (or smart device), our 9-Step Method is the premier step-by-step guide to self-publishing. 

The Joyful Life Publishing 9-Step Method

1. Ignite Your Passion

3. It Takes Money to 'Book It'

2. Make the 'Write' Choices™

INITIAL EVALUTION (SURVEY)

Starting with our exclusive IGNITE YOUR PASSION survey, JLP forges your vision and purpose into a realistic plan of action. The JLP survey stimulates honest responses to the who, what, where, why, and how questions to determine the funding, resources, and professional support needed to increase success of your future published book.

SELECT YOUR FORMAT & TEAM

The ultimate success of your book not only depends on your writing skills; it also requires selecting the right team of skilled professionals along with a proven print-on-demand (POD) partner.  Working together your book takes shape by selecting the ideal size and format.

ESTALBLISH AN INVESTMENT PLAN

The cost to get a book published and sold depends on three basic factors. 

1) Professional fees for editing, layout, and graphic design can be lessened by doing as much as you can to cut costs. 2) The print cost versus the retail cost of your book impacts your profit.  

3) Marketing can be costly. Compare expected return on investment.

EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF THE JOURNEY

To most people, the greatest challenge for writing a book is starting the writing process. Procrastination has caused many great book concepts to be forever lost in the mind of the dreamer. In addition to your JLP Coach / Mentor providing writing tips to get you started, our method teaches seven powerful tactics to overcome writer's block.

STAY ON TRACK COACHING

Your JLP Writing Coach keeps your passion alive by keeping you engaged, energized, encouraged, and focused on your project. Your Coach works with you to establish a routine writing schedule (habit) that fits your lifestyle. To ensure timely success, your Coach holds you accountable to set and achieve goals with tips to organize and prioritize.

ENHANCING ELEMENTS OF EDITING

From improving the overall structure, logic, and style of your book to assessing its accuracy, tone, and flow, the JLP Editorial Team provides professional detailed services for all phases of editing including proofreading. The Chicago Manual of Style is the standard used by JLP Editors for grammar and punctuation.

THE HOOK, THE BOOK & THE BAIT

Your JLP Design Team gives your book a professional and eye-catching (WOW Factor) cover along with a clean layout (formatting) that features customized graphics, photos, charts, and illustrations that adhere to your books theme.  Upon completion, your JLP Formatter creates required PDFs to securely submit your book to your print-on-demand (POD) partner for publication.

This is your time to celebrate, to order your book, to prepare to market it (GET THE WORD OUT), to collect royalties, and most of all to SHARE YOUR JOY.

'BUY THE BOOK' DISTRIBUTION...

Unless you're a famous writer like John Grisham, your book won't sell on its own.  Once published, your book will be available online to retailers worldwide (global distribution), including Amazon,  on your print-on-demand (POD) platform. To increase sales, most authors develop a marketing plan that fits their budget, personality, and expectations.

Get Started the 'Write' Way

So why are you still waiting? You have something great to say! Share your wisdom & make a joyful difference. 

EMBRACE YOUR PURPOSE! LIVE YOUR DREAM!
