Have you ever felt the nudge to write your book, but something keeps getting in the way? You’re not alone.
Every author — whether they’re just beginning or already sitting on a half-written manuscript — experiences the same doubts, fears, and roadblocks. The good news? Every single one of these obstacles is completely normal… and completely solvable with the right support.
Here are the top 12 objections that keep people from publishing their book, along with exactly how our Author-licity™ coaching program helsp you move through each one with clarity and confidence.
1. “I don’t know where to start.”
Publishing a book can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at a blank page.
How we help: We give you a clear, proven, step-by-step roadmap. From idea to outline to published book, you always know your next step. No guesswork, no overwhelm — just momentum.
2. “What if it’s not good enough?”
Fear of judgment or imperfection keeps more authors stuck than anything else.
How we help: You get coaching, feedback, and structure to refine your content and bring your best ideas forward. We help you feel confident that your message is strong, valuable, and ready for readers.
3. “I don’t have enough time.”
Most people think writing a book requires years.
How we help: Our Author-licity™ framework shows you exactly how to write and publish your book in small, focused blocks of time. With accountability and templates, you stay on track even with a busy life.
4. “I’m not a ‘real’ writer.”
So many aspiring authors believe they need perfect skills or a literary background. Not true.
How we help: We help you write in your natural voice, structure your ideas, and turn your expertise into a powerful book. Most of our authors are not writers — they’re experts with a message.
5. “What if nobody reads it?”
The fear of pouring your heart into a book and hearing crickets is real.
How we help: We teach you how to identify your ideal reader, position your book, and use podcast interviews to build demand — even before your book launches.
6. “My idea isn’t unique enough.”
Many authors compare their ideas to others and talk themselves out of writing.
How we help: We help you uncover your unique angle, voice, and story — the pieces that make your book stand out. Your message matters, and your perspective is the differentiator.
7. “Publishing is too expensive.”
A lot of people think publishing requires huge fees or signing everything over to a publisher.
How we help: We focus on cost-effective self-publishing strategies where you keep your royalties, maintain control, and publish professionally without breaking the bank.
8. “I don’t want to deal with the tech.”
Formatting, ISBNs, uploads, covers — it can all feel intimidating.
How we help: We guide you through every technical step with simple instructions, resources, and hands-on support so you never feel stuck.
9. “I don’t know how to market it.”
A book without a marketing plan becomes a best-kept secret.
How we help: We teach a simple, repeatable marketing strategy using podcast interviews, visibility, and authentic connections — not complicated launches or funnels. You’ll know exactly how to get readers and build momentum.
10. “I’m afraid of telling my story.”
Writing a book can bring up vulnerability — especially if it’s personal.
How we help: We create a safe, supportive environment where you decide what to share. You’ll learn how to tell your story in a way that empowers both you and your reader.
11. “What if I succeed?”
Success can be just as scary as failure.
How we help: We help you step into your authority with confidence and give you a plan for what comes next — additional books, media, speaking, or business growth. You’re supported every step of the way.
12. “It’s not the right time.”
Life feels busy, unpredictable, or full — so people wait for the “perfect time.”
How we help: There is no perfect time. But with structure, accountability, and a community cheering you on, you’ll create progress faster than you thought possible. This is your sign that now is the right time.
Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Writing a book is one of the most powerful ways to grow your credibility, share your message, and make an impact — but it doesn’t have to be confusing, overwhelming, or done in isolation.
With the right coaching, support, and roadmap, you can publish your book faster and easier than you ever imagined.
If you’re ready to finally bring your book to the world, we’d love to guide you every step of the way.
