Your Story Is Worth Publishing
Make no mistake: You ARE a big deal. You matter. What you do matters. There's a life-saving, history-shaping, world-changing story that ONLY you can tell.
​
Whether you're writing fiction, non-fiction, a memoir, or even poetry, you're the only one in all of human history who has or ever will have the necessary combination of:
-
genetics
-
family history
-
talents
-
gifts
-
skills
-
life experience
-
education
-
knowledge
-
expertise
-
creativity
-
and personal perspective
​
...that will allow you to deliver your unique story to the audience that needs it most. If you don't deliver that story, someone else may try, but they won't be able to bring to it what you can.
We've ALL Been There
Whether you’ve dreamed of being a published author for years or even
decades, but you haven’t taken action on your dreams
…or you keep telling yourself you’ll write and publish your
story…someday
…but that day never comes…
​
...or you've purchased half-a-bookstore's worth of books on how to write and publish but you're still no closer to where you want to be on your writing and publishing journey than you were when you started...
​
...or you've got plenty of story ideas but they all seem to fizzle out around chapter five, so you bounce from story idea to story idea without ever finishing anything...
​
...or you've got a virtual ghost town's worth of stories you've finished but never got professionally edited that are currently collecting dust on your hard drive...
​
We know what that's like. We want to help you get past the obstacles that stand between you and your dreams of writing and publishing success.

You'll Never Know How Good Your Story Is Until You Share It!
Looking For the Recipe for Writing a Perfect Rough Draft? We've got news for you!
It doesn't exist.
Rough drafts aren't supposed to be perfect. That isn't the point of writing them.
​
The point of writing your rough draft is finding the heart of your story. Rewriting and editing are where the story is refined and perfected.
Don't let perfectionism kill your dreams!
Give yourself permission to write the biggest pile of horse manure the world has ever seen. All that horse manure will become the fertilizer for the seeds of the story you're planting in your rough draft.
​
If you need help getting your rough draft written, let our writing coaches support you. Take the first step toward your literary dreams and sign up to work with one of our writing coaches.
Inspiration Gets Your Story Started...It Won't Help You Finish It.
Inspiration and infatuation are twin cousins.
​
They're the spark of attraction, that mystical magic that draws you to something wonderful and sets your heart on fire.
However, there will be a point in time when the fires die down and you no longer "feel" it.
​
The difference between those who get from chapter one to "It's done!" or from "I only want to be with you" to "til death did we part"...is commitment.
​
Commitment to the story and the people who need to hear it.
​
Commitment to your desire to touch, make a change or a difference, or have an impact on someone else's life.
​
Once your inspiration runs dry, let our Writing Coaches help you put together a solid strategy to get you started again. We can help you keep moving forward until you reach "The End."
SOMEDAY ISN'T ON THE CALENDAR!
You keep putting your story on the back burner. You tell yourself you'll get to it...someday...but that day never comes.
​
You tell yourself you don't have time right now.
​
That's why the days...weeks...months...years...and even decades...pass by and your story still isn't out there.
​
You talk about it. You tell people you're working on it...
​
...but it never comes to pass.
You're underestimating the power of your story and its ability to change not only your life but that of the entire world.
​
You're not committing to your dream or holding yourself accountable for achieving it because you think the only person it impacts is you, but that's just not true.
​
The truth is...
Someone Out There Urgently NEEDS To Hear Your Story!
There's someone out there:
-
Facing the situation you're addressing
-
Dealing with the problem you figured out how to solve
-
Enduring the pain you went through and the grief of the loss it brought
-
Seeking the happy ending you know how to deliver
-
Looking to share the joy they feel and need your help to do it
-
Hoping to change their perspective on life by hearing about yours
They need to hear - from you - that there is hope on the other side of things and a better world possible for them.
​
They need to know their life is going to be worth it in the end.
​
Their life will be touched, changed, or even saved by the story you share.
​
Whether your story is fiction, nonfiction, a memoir, or a book of poetry, you've got a unique perspective that no one else can give that can help them in a way that no one else can...
​
...but you have to get that story out of your head and out into the world first.
​
Let us help you overcome the obstacles between you and your writing and publishing dreams.
Rejection Doesn't Mean Your Story Is Bad
It means it either needs work or wasn't the right fit for the person who received it.
​
Let us evaluate your story so we can help you figure out where it needs work and what you can do to improve it.

Stop Letting Money Hold Your Dreams Hostage!
If you're concerned about money and that's what's holding you back from getting the help you need to get your story out of your head or off your computer, and into the world, so it can benefit you and the people who need it...
​
PLEASE stop letting money be the reason you don't achieve your dreams!
​
There is ALWAYS a way to put together the money no matter what's in your bank account now.
​
Here are three ways to pay:
1. Join Our Affiliate Program
Join our program at no cost to you. You'll make 20% off every eligible product you've shared when someone purchases. It's a great way to make the money you need to pay for your dreams while helping someone else fulfill theirs.
2. Request Path To Publishing Gift Cards
Ask your friends and family to gift you Path To Publishing Gift Cards for your next special occasion rather than adding to a collection of dust catchers that won't be remembered. Offer a free copy of your book when it's done in exchange for the gift to incentivize their contribution.
Path To Publishing's CEO and Founder, Joylynn M. Ross, is a national bestselling author who has sold over a million copies of her own books and has agented almost two dozen authors, landing them a collective $2.7 million dollars in book contracts and royalties. She spent decades working with and for traditional publishers. Suffice it to say, she knows how to professionally publish books. And she wants you to know
too! That is why she created a course that allows you to start at ground zero of the publishing process so that you can make a well informed, educated decision as to whether self-publishing is for you.
​
​
During her online courses, she not only shares that information with you but she positions you to turn that story into a book and that book into a business. You'll learn the ins and outs of the publishing process and the business of publishing. Whether you choose to self-publish or not, you'll be better prepared to work with a traditional or hybrid publisher, and earn the kinds of advances that new authors rarely receive anymore, and even established authors see less and less often.
Plus, you can learn how to make money from your book before it's published...adding one more way you'll be able to pay for the services we render here at Path To Publishing.
