From first-time authors who are ready to finally do something with the manuscript they’ve considered for years, to seasoned writers who are considering publishing independently for the first time, the list of questions is long. We genuinely love spending time answering each one—because asking good questions is how you make good decisions.

As much as we believe there’s a book or story in everyone, we also believe that the difference between a good book and a great one can be as simple as owning that you don’t know what you don’t know. So ask the questions! Learn how to share your story well.

You can have the best writing schedule, the most beautiful outline, and a compelling book idea . . . and still find yourself stuck. Not because you lack calling or talent, but because you’re trying to write without clear direction.

When the deeper purpose of a book isn’t clearly defined, the writing process can start to feel like wandering. Chapters drift. Ideas multiply. Doubt creeps in. You may find yourself wondering if the message really matters or whether you’re the right person to write it.

When you can answer both, your writing gains direction.
