Almost everyone says they’d like to write a book someday. There is a common desire to talk directly to a reader and express what’s on your mind in a compelling way. Books of all descriptions shape our lives from the days of Dr. Seuss to the present moment. Ideas will ebb and flow, motivation will wax and wane, time will fly by, and the decision to act will be questioned. It’s our human nature.

Then comes a moment of truth.

All at once, usually out of the blue, an idea that is better than all previous ones will land on your mind and trigger the choice to begin writing in earnest. A clear image comes into view in your mind’s eye, and you can tell that this thought will interest others and perhaps thousands. Our best advice to you is to seize that moment, commit the inspiration to paper or computer. Then start free flowing thoughts, sentences, outlines, bullet points, and whatever else will capture your initial ideas as completely as possible. Don’t worry about structure, wording, or even spelling and grammar. The method you use is not critical, what’s important is to choose what works the best for you to capture your ideas. That will all come into focus as you develop your drafts and solidify your written work.

And here is where we come in.

Tolt River Road Publishing will advise and guide you on this epic journey to reach a goal few ever achieve, though many wish they could. The original idea you own is what matters most. Presenting it in writing is the challenge, and making it known to the world is the goal. Let’s talk. We’ll help you on the way to publish your work. You may wish to self-publish your book, controlling everything about the project yourself. We can advise you on that method. Your goal may be a careful and complete book development project designed to refine your work for presentation to book agents and large publishers. We will help you along that path. Perhaps publishing an electronic or e-book is your choice. We will support and guide you, whatever you choose.

Some of the steps from initial draft to published book could include:

Feasibility advice, Book or Project Development Plan, Research Assistance, Editing Services, Proofreading, ISBN procurement, Graphic Design including a cover, Printing options, Marketing, Advertising, Promotion, including Social Media Campaigns, Book Placement Plan, Event Planning, Website Development, and Public Relations projects to mention a few of the things to think about.
