We have our new TOP 20 Book Ideas and Story Ideas for the week of November 4th to November 10th, 2019.
“I went for years not finishing anything. Because, of course, when you finish something you can be judged.”
—Erica Jong
SOOP desensitizes its authors to judgment from the start. As soon as an author submits a Book Idea, Story Idea, or Anthology Idea, the judging and measuring begins. While SOOP authors begin with an idea, the goal is to complete the work, be it a book, a story, or an anthology. Whether it takes a few weeks, a few months, or a few years, SOOP will support a writer in completing their project. And because an author is accustomed to the weekly judgment, there’s no procrastination due to fear of being judged. They were judged all along.
Share your Book Idea or Story Idea with the SOOP community and grow accustomed to being judged alongside everyone else, and as you learn to market your Idea, you’ll build your brand while growing immune to judgment.
Below, please find Book Ideas and Story Ideas that made this past week’s top 20. Become a judge and vote for the Ideas you like.

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 the Top 20 list.
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.

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).
