Dream To Publish Inspirational Books
Donation protected
My dream is to be a published author in the Christian community. I have written many articles and operate my own blog. I also have been asked to write articles for an online Mom's magazine, as well as an article to go in a newsletter for Lifeway and currently write monthly Bible studies for a women's ministry. However, my writing passion is something that will not come to fruition if I cannot dedicate the time needed to write the one item that I believe will launch me into publication and help signify me as a Christian author...my first full non-fiction book.
I have been in college for the past few years working on both Psychology and Business Administration degrees. I also go to a second college and am becoming certified in Biblical Studies and Women's Ministry. My dream is to publish non-fiction books, Bible studies, devotionals, and other motivational and inspirational publications (such as a monthly newsletter and possibly someday a magazine). I feel I just need to get my foot in the door and would be able to do so with my first book. You can get a feel of my writing capabilities and style by visiting my blog at: http://www.lifelovelessonsandthelord.blogspot.com .
As a single mother who is caring for 3 children under the age of 11 solely by myself physically, emotionally, and financially...my dreams sometimes feel they are a figment of something that can never be. But my love of Christ and the talents and capabilities God has gifted me with constantly remind me that it IS possible...but we are not meant to reach our dreams alone. So this is where I am humbling myself in an effort to ask for your help.
I have no doubt this book will be a success, and will be a domino effect to many other publications that I will launch...thereby fulfilling my dream of being a writer and using my stories, testimonies, and positive spirit to help and heal others. That is my passion and my dream...ministry and helping others. In order to do this, I have calculated that I would need approximately an additional 5 months of bill funds in order to focus on writing the book and keeping on top of the editors and publishers. I will be doing most everything myself except for the final editing and publishing. (This is also expensive, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it...or should I say WE will cross that bridge, because if you choose to invest in this dream, you will be on this journey with me and be a huge part of it, with God as our ultimate guide in timing and success). I have already completed the title of the book, the titles and subjects of all of the chapters, and the storyline behind it. The concept is complete...I just need to be afforded the time to make it happen!
I live a very simple life and have for the past 7 years that I have been a single mother. My basic bills can be completely paid with $1,700 per month. That includes EVERYTHING (rent, electric, phone, internet, car insurance, food, gas, and propane). I am being very transparent about my monthly costs and which bills I have because I want you to be confident that you know exactly where your funds are going. They are going to ensure that the basic monthly expenses of a family of 4 can be met while my first book is written and set for publishing. I am confident this will lead to many more projects and the ability to "pay it forward" to all of those who choose to help me and become a driving force in this...whether it be with funds, prayer, or support and encouragement. All who contribute will be kept in close contact with and given updates and samples of the chapters and publication status as we move along!
If you have any specific questions you would like answered, please do let me know! Thank you all so much for reading my story, and if you decide to contribute, I look forward to you being a new and welcomed part of my family and the success this will bring!
God Bless!
