Welcome to the June edition of the Rise2Write Monthly Newsletter!

You’ve been thinking about writing a book for a while now… Perhaps you’ve started and then paused. Maybe you have a finished manuscript but are uncertain if it’s the right time. Here’s the reality: You don’t need anyone’s approval to share your story. However, you deserve support when you’re ready to present it to others. If you’re wondering whether it’s time to take that leap, here are 10 signs this month that indicate you’re more prepared than you realize.

Here are 10 Signs You’re Ready to Publish a Book:

1. You think about your book nearly every day.

Even if it’s unfinished or just an idea, you can’t shake it. That’s not a coincidence.

2. You’ve written more than you think.

From journal entries to outlines and full chapters, you possess the foundational elements of something great.

3. You’ve searched for “how to self-publish a book” multiple times.

You’re seeking answers but weary of solving the puzzle by yourself.

4. A sense of urgency arises within you.

It seems like there's a gentle yet persistent push urging you to complete what you began.

5. You are no longer satisfied with “someday.”

You aspire to have your name featured on the book cover. You feel ready and prepared for that moment.

6. People keep asking, “When’s your book coming out?”

In all honesty, you’re likely thinking the exact same thing.

7. You realize your story can assist someone else.

No matter if it’s inspiration, healing, humor, or education, your voice is important.

8. You’re fed up with playing small.

You’ve been in the background for too long. It's time to embrace your destiny as an author.

9. You want to create a lasting impact.

You’re not just writing a book; you’re building a legacy, influence, and impact.

10. You are reading this right now!

And nodding, perhaps even smiling, maybe feeling a bit scared. That’s when you know it’s time.

So what’s next?

If even half of these feel true for you…

I’d love to invite you to Rise2Write’s 8-module course personally:
