Christopher & Gena Maselli · Writing Momentum
From the message on your heart to the book in their hands.
We’re Christopher and Gena Maselli. We’ve written and published books for publishers and ministries for more than thirty years — and now we help authors and ministry leaders take theirs from first idea to finished book.
Over thirty years, we’ve worked with ministries and publishers you know.Now we bring that same care to your book.
“Beautiful words stir my heart …Psalm 45:1 (NLT)
my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.”
The Momentum Path
Every book walks through five steps. Where’s yours?
Steps 1 and 2 start with free resources and our membership. For steps 3 to 5, we do the work alongside you.
Idea
“I have a message.”
You know what you want to say. Now it needs a shape: who it’s for and what it promises.

Starts with a message.
A sermon, a talk, a teaching series. Whatever you’ve already said.
Turns into a chapter.
Written by Chris or Gena, in your voice. You read and approve every chapter.
