The Journal

Your message, in a journal they reach for every day.

A guided journal turns your message, method, or faith into a product people use daily, gift often, and order in bulk. We design and publish it for you, and you keep every right and royalty.

Who it is for

For the leader whose message deserves a daily home.

A book gets read once. A journal gets opened again and again. That daily return is what makes a guided journal one of the most powerful products you can put your name on. Every morning someone spends with your prompts is a morning spent with your message.

This is for speakers, coaches, faith leaders, and professionals who want a guided journal, a devotional, a gratitude practice, or a prompted companion to their work. Something to sell, to gift, to grow a list with, or to place in the hands of an entire congregation, class, or team.

The package

A beautiful, guided journal, done for you.

You bring the theme, the prompts, or the message. We shape it into a designed, guided journal your audience will actually use, and want to buy for someone else.

The difference

Everyone else hands you a file. We hand you a plan to sell it.

Every journal we publish includes The Launch Kit, a done-for-you set of marketing assets built from the same systems Crystal has used to sell more than 750,000 books. Journals sell beautifully in bulk, so we make sure yours is set up to.

A bulk-order pitch, tailored to your journal

A ready pitch to place your journal with churches, events, programs, and organizations, where journals sell by the case.

Your monetization map

The specific ways to use your journal: a product, a gift, a lead magnet, a program companion, or a speaking bundle.

Ready-to-post launch content

A batch of captions and posts to announce and promote your journal, written for you and ready to publish.

Your custom launch plan

A step-by-step timeline for launching your journal, so you know exactly what to do and when.

Proof

A journal that became a pillar of a brand.

Chef Ashley Shepard Faith and food
The Daniel Fast: 21 Day Food and Faith Journal, a guided journal that sold more than 3,000 copies worldwide and became a cornerstone of her brand and community.

A journal is the rare product people open every single day. That is a lot of time spent with your message.

Questions authors ask

Journal questions.

What kind of journals do you publish?
We publish guided journals, devotionals, gratitude journals, and prompted reflection journals: any journal that leads a reader through your message, method, or theme.
Do I have to write the journal myself?
You can bring your own prompts and content, and we design and publish it. If you would rather we write it, ghostwriting is available as an upgrade.
What can I use a journal for?
A journal can be a product you sell, a gift for your audience, a lead magnet to grow your list, a companion to your program, or a bulk order for a church, event, or organization.
How much does a journal cost?
Journal publishing is 2,500 dollars, and includes a done-for-you launch kit. Ghostwriting is available as an upgrade.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available. Book a call and we will set one up that fits your budget.
Do I keep my rights and royalties?
Yes. Your journal is published under your own accounts, and you keep full rights and 100 percent of your royalties.
What do I need to provide?
Your theme and any prompts or content you already have. If you only have the idea, the ghostwriting upgrade lets us build it from there.
