You have been struggling to write your book but you’re still on the fence about getting help from a pro. And you’re beginning to feel a little anxious about which route to take for your book.
Worry no more!
Here are 5 questions you need to ask yourself to help you take the right step for you and your book project.
Being an entrepreneur itself can already be overwhelming. And when you’re overworked it is understandable that you just want people to take some of the burdens off your shoulder, like for example, writing your book! A book that would definitely position you as an authority in your field and propel your business beyond your competition. But you’re just too busy and you’re eager to take the easy way out. Find a writer and just have them take the pen from you, right?
- Have I tried enough?
Now, believe it or not, I have personally known and seen authors who have found writing their book by themselves to be a therapeutic escape and a transformational experience. My advice to you is, don’t miss out on the opportunity to write your book on your own, especially if it’s going to be your first. At least give yourself a month’s time by consistently writing every day. However if at the end of the month, you have found the progress to be too slow for you then it’s time to get some help from an Angel Writer.
- Have I tried other methods other than writing?
Did you know that you can write your book without “writing” a single word? Yes, you can!
There are several ways to do this. Some examples include Voice Typing, Voice Recording, Voice Transcribing, and many other similar methods. Try it for a month. If you still find yourself being stressed out with juggling work and life, plus with your writing on the side, and it’s taking quite a toll on you, then it’s time to consider Angel Writing.
- Am I committed to excellence?
A lot of authors who have finished their manuscripts find it difficult to do the actual publishing due to the fact that they are not confident enough. They are almost never satisfied with their own writing that they end up looking back through their book to rewrite some parts. A lot of times, they feel that other writers can rewrite their book and make it even better, which keeps them from publishing.
Does this resonate with you? Then this means that you are a person who is committed to very high standards of quality and excellence. If you find that your plans of publishing are being sabotaged by your own meticulousness, seek the help of an Angel Writer. Don’t let perfection be your enemy.
- Can you trust others?
Angel Writing is a collaborative experience where a writer works closely with you. They spend days, and even months, understanding your message and getting to know you and your areas of expertise. Working with an Angel Writer also means that you have full trust that they can do a good job and take care of the writing of your book for you.
So, if you have the tendency to micro-manage or have superhero syndrome where you feel you have to do everything on your own, then Angel Writing may not be the right fit for you and your book project.
However, if you believe that you need a second pair of eyes who is also committed to the same standard of excellence as you to help you write your book then an Angel Writer is perfect for you.
- Do I have the expertise?
You need to be an expert in a certain field to make use of an Angel Writer. Angel Writers are not comparable to researchers. They will not research a certain topic for you and submit ideas to you. You need to bring your expertise to the table. You need to share your ideas, knowledge, and message to the project while your Angel Writer will simply serve as your, well, writer!
However, if you’re looking for a writer who is an expert in a certain topic and can write a book about it for you, then a Ghost Writer is your best bet.
If all your answers to these questions are a YES and you can’t still find yourself to take the next step to finish your book or have it published, you need the help of an Angel Writer!
