We have our new TOP 20 Book Ideas and Story Ideas for the week of October 14th to October 20th, 2019.
“You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.” ―
The blank page is intimidating. And it is often easier to get up for a cup of coffee or to check our phone than it is to write a few words. If you can resist the coffee and the phone for five minutes and commit a few words to the blank page, you’ll discover the paradox of writing: writing begets writing. Words spring more words. Magic is the only description for this phenomenon. Your five minute commitment to your blank page can flow into an hour, and abracadabra! There is your page ready for editing.
If you haven’t committed your Book or Story Idea to SOOP yet, make the idea your incantation today to help transform a blank page into a filled page. And allow your fellow SOOP followers to participate in your spell by voting for your idea. In turn, you can vote for the ideas you find magical. You may like a few from the list of Book Ideas and Story Ideas below.
How Do I Make the Top 20?
The Top 20 is our weekly culmination of the votes for the week. By formulating the number of votes a Book Idea or Story Idea receives and how quickly the Book Idea or Story Idea received those votes, along with a few more details from the past week, we are able to determine the order and placement of the Top 20. There are a few ways to help you make it on both lists.
How about an Anthology Idea? SOOP is already supporting several curators with anthologies. Maybe your Anthology Idea could be next…? Curating an anthology can be a powerful way to build your brand and to connect with people who share your cause.
For DIY authors, SOOP hosts Marketing Monday, a series of posts chock full of tips and tricks for boosting your audience from the ground. For those looking for interactive help, SOOP offers several packages designed to help with your Marketing Plan. Take a minute and check them out. Plus, the Service Marketplace connects you with people who can help with your Product, Platform, and Promotion.
We Want to Work With You
Everyone at SOOP will help you work toward your success. When you submit your Book Idea, you can choose one of two ways to reach your publishing goal: Free or Premium Levels. At each stage of the voting process, SOOP’s Free Level assigns homework, which helps you not only make substantial progress in marketing your work, but also helps you develop the best book possible. SOOP manages your homework in phases and returns your homework on a pass/fail basis.
SOOP’s Premium Level also assigns homework with a required 85% passing grade, ensuring you understand the curriculum before proceeding. In addition to a higher standard for your homework, our panel of experts provides personalized feedback, arming you with more information and allowing you to adjust course when necessary.
For more information on the Free and Premium Levels, please read the FAQ, including information on costs. And also feel free to contact us with questions.
Our Services Marketplace offers proofreading, editing, reviewing, and publishing for your manuscripts. If you reach 2,000 valid votes via our author-driven model, you can even earn Services Marketplace offerings free of charge. Submit your book idea here, and regardless of the level you choose, you can build your audience and anticipate orders from the participants who voted for your Book Idea(s).
