If you’ve felt the nudge to write a spiritual book but found yourself wondering, “Is there even room for my voice?” – you’re not alone. There are so many books out there, so why does the world need any more?
Here’s the truth: While there are many spiritual books out there, there are still big gaps in the kinds of messages that are actually being published. And readers are hungry for something deeper, more grounded, and more reflective of the times we’re living in!
If you’ve been holding back because your message feels a little “out there” or a little too niche, it might actually be exactly what the world is waiting for.
Below are 7 areas where spiritual books are in high demand but still underrepresented. If your story or wisdom fits into one of these spaces, take it as a sign: your voice matters more than you think.
1. The “In-Between” Seeker
Many books cater to beginners or advanced mystics, but there’s a growing group of readers who are in the middle. They’ve done some inner work, they’re spiritually curious, but they don’t fully resonate with mainstream teachings or rigid traditions. They’re looking for real guidance, not fluff. A book that speaks directly to this “in-between” space can be a breath of fresh air.
2. Embodied & Somatic Spirituality
There’s rising awareness that true transformation isn’t just mental or emotional — it’s physical, too. Readers want to understand how to integrate spirituality with their body, nervous system, and lived experience (not to escape it!). If your work involves somatics, trauma healing, or movement-based practices, this is a powerful and needed space to write from.
3. Sacred Activism & Conscious Leadership
Spiritual readers are no longer just seeking personal peace — they want to make a difference in the world without losing their center. There’s a huge need for books that explore how to stay spiritually grounded while engaging in leadership, activism, social change, or entrepreneurship.
4. Diverse & Inclusive Voices
The spiritual publishing world still leans heavily toward Western, white, cisgender voices — but that doesn’t reflect the full spectrum of human experience. Readers are actively seeking teachings from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and culturally diverse authors who can share grounded wisdom rooted in real lineage and lived experience. If that’s you: please write!!!
5. Shadow Side of Spirituality
There’s a growing discomfort with overly positive “love and light” spirituality that ignores grief, shadow, and complexity. More than ever, people are seeking books that allow space for doubt, struggle, and the full range of human emotion — without losing the thread of the sacred. If you’re willing to go deep and tell the truth, your readers will thank you.
6. Everyday Spirituality
Readers are tired of lofty concepts that feel disconnected from daily life. They want to know: How do I stay connected when I’m parenting, dealing with money stress, navigating relationships, or feeling burnt out? Practical, relatable spirituality is deeply needed and often overlooked.
7. Purposeful Spiritual Memoir
Memoir is still one of the most beloved genres in the spiritual world — but the ones that land best are those that teach while they tell. If you have a powerful personal journey and can weave in lessons that help others grow, you’ve got the potential for something truly impactful.
Final Thoughts
The publishing world is hungry for new voices, new approaches, and deeper authenticity.
Your path, your truth, your healing — it might just be the exact medicine someone else has been searching for.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign that your book is worth writing… consider this it!
