Iself-published a few different devotionals, some of which are still available. One was called Wholehearted, a coloring book devotional. Beloved was a 14 day devotional on love and relationships and College was a devotional and conversation guide for college girls and small groups.

In fact, self-publishing is what helped me when it came to getting my first book deal from a traditional publisher a few years later because I was able to show publishers that I could sell books as a writer.


I loved getting started with this kind of book because it was focused on a specific topic, served as a tool, and was easier to write and sell. It was almost like a stepping stone between writing 1,000 word blog posts and writing a big 50,000 word trade book, and I believe it helped make the transition a little smoother.


If you have the resources and choose to outsource this piece, which may be the best option for you so that you can focus on the messaging and marketing of the book, you can find a cover designer on freelance sites like Fiverr as well.


Amazon KDP provides guidelines when it comes to the dimensions and formatting for the internal pages, cover art, etc. Take some time to make sure all your pages, front, and back cover are formatted properly so that it prints how it should.


I recommend starting with a marketing budget and then determine what this campaign is going to look like from there. Are you going to pay for Facebook / social media ads? Will you use any influencer marketing campaigns? What about putting together a launch team? Pre-order gifts for those who pre-order?


I have been writing devotionals for about 5 years now. I send them to about 80 friends daily. Sometimes I only send 5 a week and sometimes 7. I am a Christian woman and my devotionals are based on insight that God has blessed me with time and again. I generally start with scripture. It has been suggested several times that I publish my devotionals, but I am almost 60 years old, so I am not sure what to do.

Being a mother, daughter, and wife. I understood the meaning of love. Having many years of failed relationships before marriage, I understood what love is not. Being a bride before I married, I understood the feelings of enthusiasm for my groom.


Daily devotionals can magnify faith, hope, and love. These short publications are quick to read. Some have elements of humor, such as Bob Goff. Other devotions have sermon notes, such as Paul David Tripp. Popular devotions are written as love letters, such as Sarah Young. Devotions can also be theology-based, prayer-focused, or informative writings- such as Charles Spurgeon, Tim Keller, or Max Lucado.


When I was a new mother and not a practicing Jesus-loving Christian, someone gave me a devotional book. Over 20 years since I received this book, it still has a place in my heart and home! At the time I found the daily devotional for mothers confusing. Today I find that book a treasured memory in my heart.


6Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
