Some of the more common include not having enough time, not feeling confident in their writing abilities, and wondering if their story even matters. When Gregg Gonzales, the founder of The SpeakEasy Method, hears writers express these obstacles or concerns, he asks them two questions:</p> <p>1) Why does this story or book matter to you?<br />2) Is there one person you can think of that would benefit from you telling your story? <br /><br />He&#39;s never met a writer that says &quot;No&quot; to question number two. He believes if you can think of at least one person that will benefit from your book, you are obligated to share it.

Some of the more common include not having enough time, not feeling confident in their writing abilities, and wondering if their story even matters. When Gregg Gonzales, the founder of The SpeakEasy Method, hears writers express these obstacles or concerns, he asks them two questions:</p> <p>1) Why does this story or book matter to you?, and <br />2) Is there one person you can think of that would benefit from you telling your story? <br /><br />He&#39;s never met a writer that says &quot;No&quot; to question number two.

While there are many types of books that can create a buzz, W Publishing Group Senior Marketing Manager Katherine Hudencial says nonfiction faith-based books and memoirs that readers can apply to their own lives are most appealing right now. Books that give readers concrete takeaways and address felt needs are what readers are gravitating towards and sharing with others. On the other hand, books that address current events more abstractly are overwhelming readers, she says, and are not performing well.<br /><br />Two topics in particular that Hudencial sees gaining popularity are books on the Rapture and on parenting, due to universal concerns in the world. The more applicable a book is to daily life, the more readers are responding. This includes how-to books and transformative storytelling that lead readers on a specific path.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-21/TrendsintheMarketplaceforFaithBasedBooksandMemoirs.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TrendsintheMarketplaceforFaithBasedBooksandMemoirs.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Christian Books & Bibles, Self-Help, Religious & Inspirational, Nonfiction, Religion & Spirituality, Biographies and Memoirs, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/nonfiction/w/reason-for-writing/8361/trends-in-the-marketplace-for-faith-based-books-and-memoirs/revision/1Fri, 01 Mar 2024 18:26:55 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:59380e88-05c9-4aed-849b-630aa484a5ebKatherine HudencialRevision 1 posted to Reason for Writing by Katherine Hudencial on 3/1/2024 6:26:55 PM<br /> <p><br />W Publishing Group Senior Marketing Manager Katherine Hudencial shares trends she is seeing for nonfiction faith-based and spiritual books.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-21/TrendsintheMarketplaceforFaithBasedBooksandMemoirs.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TrendsintheMarketplaceforFaithBasedBooksandMemoirs.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Christian Books & Bibles, Self-Help, Religious & Inspirational, Nonfiction, Religion & Spirituality, Biographies and Memoirs, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/nonfiction/w/reason-for-writing/8326/the-importance-of-cryingTue, 02 Jan 2024 19:15:01 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:ede88892-c60f-40fa-baa7-9978d9ec8be9Brandon StosuyCurrent Revision posted to Reason for Writing by Brandon Stosuy on 1/2/2024 7:15:01 PM<br /> <p><br />Author Brandon Stosuy discusses the transformative power of tears in <em>Sad Happens</em>, a beautifully illustrated, celebratory anthology exploring sadness.<br /><br />Brandon Stosuy is the cofounder and Editor-in-Chief of <em>The Creative Independent</em>, published by Kickstarter, and is the author of three books on creativity, <em>Make Time for Creativity, Stay Inspired, How to Fail Successfully</em>, and two children&rsquo;s books, <em>Music Is...</em> and <em>We Are Music</em>.

Authors of how-to books have the unique opportunity to provide ongoing learning by taking their written knowledge and content and repurposing it. This can be in the form of courses, coaching, consulting, and more!<br /> <br />In 2020, Russell Nohelty sold his non-fiction writing business to Monica Leonelle, vowing never to write non-fiction again. Less than two years later, he and Monica run a successful non-fiction business built upon the how-to books they wrote together.
