Did you ever wonder why, at times, words just poured out of you or why you feel mysteriously drawn to write a book? If so, this book is for you. It answers all of the questions about why we are really meant to write. And, as you will find, the real reason we are drawn to write has way more significance than to just sell a few books or to make a name for ourselves. In this ultimate book for all authors and aspiring writers; Best Selling Author, legendary literary mid-wife and renowned author oracle, Tom Bird, shares it all. And in doing so, Tom frees us to finally succeed in all areas of writing. If writing is something you feel pushed to do or is something you want to do, this is a book not to be missed. It will change your life and forever alter the way you look at the world and your role in it.
While serving as a publicist for major league baseball’s Pittsburgh Pirates, Tom Bird had a life-changing, perspective-altering, spiritual awakening. This spiritual awakening would set the compass for the remainder of his life, produce the sale of his first book and reset, forever, how he would see writing, publishing, and life.
Tom’s awakening and eventual success as a best-selling author and the innovative, spiritually-led approach he took to get there, directly disputed all he had learned, been taught, or read about writing and the authoring of books up to that point.
True to a promise he made to share what had been revealed to him, Tom has spent the last thirty-five years sharing the unique, inside-out approach with authors and writers of all types worldwide.
During that time, besides writing more than thirty books himself, Tom has appeared before hundreds of thousands of aspiring authors through webinars, retreats, seminars, radio talk-show appearances and through over 4,000 lecture appearances at hundreds of different colleges and universities.
The fundamental pillars of Tom’s Method:
* The book that’s calling out to you to be written is already created and written on the so-called other side of life. So it does not need to be created by you. Instead, it just needs to be released. * The cornerstone of effectively and functionally connecting with one’s book lies in communing with what Tom refers to as the Divine Author Within (DAW) state. * Once connected with one’s book through the DAW state, amazing results can transpire, including writing one’s book in a few days. * The writing of one’s book through the DAW state comprises a major leap into one’s dharma, or life purpose, and thus comprises a major, positive, life-changing event and/or shift as well. * Amen.
His unique method has led to the completion of tens of thousands of books, more than one hundred of which have ended up as Amazon best-sellers.
What Tom’s method has done for so many, it can do for you as well.
After learning the ropes from some of the best, most innovative minds in the publishing industry, and at the request of his devoted authors, Tom started Sojourn Publishing, LLC, which includes his own book publishing and fulfillment firm and The Publish Now (PN) Program.
Tom takes great pride in the publishing design of Sojourn Publishing, which is structured to return all artistic, editorial, and publishing control to his authors, who receive 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of their book. Whereas a conventional publisher can take an average of two years to take a book to the shelves, Sojourn Publishing provides the same services and opportunities for distribution but accomplishes the same result in two or three months.
Possibly the aspect of Sojourn Publishing that Tom is most proud of is his development and design of the Author Development Program (ADP) that offers authors the opportunity to be walked through the full revision, completion, and publication of their books by way of a virtual classroom setting led personally by Tom himself.
Tom lives and works in Sedona, AZ, although his workshops and writing seminars are offered in many locations across the U.S.
Just finished the 2015 version of this book. Verdict: An inspirational read for all authors. Tom Bird's premise is that books are actually written on "the other side" with God before we are born. To write well, we simply have to quiet the left side of our brain so that we can channel our divine messages. I give Tom Bird much credit because I went through an 18 year bout of unrelenting writer's block between writing my first and second books. I longed to write another book but nothing came forth until I worked with Tom. I hear from people all the time they are in the "research phase" of their books, which to me translates as "not actually writing." I had the good fortune several years ago that a friend in Atlanta told me about Tom's writing method. "Everything else is like breaking rocks," she said. I couldn't agree more. Another author described his struggle this way, "It's like blood on the keyboards." The act of writing a book is indeed an opportunity for our highest selves to bring forth something truly meaningful not only for ourselves but also for others. The writing process need not be like working in a coal mine or cutting off your right arm. I'm eternally grateful for Tom Bird and his writing method because IT WORKS. I wanted to read this book to understand more about Tom's philosophy of writing. I got the philosophy but I also received so much more. When we spend time writing books this way - not just blogs, not just newsletters, but actual books - we commune with the divine. No wonder I feel so wonderful when I write this way. Thank you Tom for writing this book to give us all deeper insight into the creative process!
Inspiring and uplifting to read. I especially enjoyed Mr. Bird sharing his early childhood experiences that led him to this gift of helping others connect with their right brain Author Within state. I can highly recommend this book.
For those who have always felt the calling to write, thought it was about time they get writing or sit in front of a computer screen from time to time, too terrified to begin, may I suggest you pick up a copy of Write Right from God by Tom Bird. This relatively small book packs a large amount of information in its easy-to-read, flowing 101 pages. Tom sees writing as a “Spiritual” experience and as such, seeks to bring the opportunity to as many people as possible. Of course getting a book published is the ultimate dream, however what the writers experience during the creation of the book is profound and in most, if not all cases, life changing. With this book (whose subtitle is You, Words, Writing and Your Divine Purpose), Bird shares insight as well as offers encouragement to all who aspire to put pen to paper to set their thoughts free. What Bird has discovered (and teaches in his seminars and workshops) is that a transformation of one’s life is as much a result of the writing as the writing is a result of the transformations one has already undergone. Deep and profound, indeed. Tom Bird, himself, has 27 published books to his credit, including the #1 Amazon Best Seller, You Can Write Your book in a Weekend. I had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Bird for The Magic Happens Radio Network, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/themagic... and during our interview, Bird explained why this can happen and how it happens. It seems when put ourselves into a state of consciousness where we are tapped directly into our connection to God, the words flow so quickly that the books practically write themselves. He has seen people complete the text for their books in mere hours. Even though the workshops are designed to run from Thursday through Sunday, several people will be done by Saturday night, some by Friday night and there are those who are finished by Friday morning. He has seen people transform so radically that they don’t even appear to be the same people who waked into the seminar in the first place. His Tom Bird Method has been shared with over 80,000 people all over the United States, so once you have picked up this book, Write Right from God, visit http://www.tombird.com for information on his next seminar and transform your life, oh and, write your book in a weekend!
