Are you interested in publishing a book, short story or novel. You don't know how to go about it? Below are tips in guiding you to your dream of publishing a book.
1. Research; what kind of book you're interested in writing, i.e. "How to's," Fiction, non-fiction.
That includes the prey market, what kind of "meat" book to serve so it can be preyed over. Also, the type of publication you'd want for your book. Could be either traditional, or self publication. Any one of them, know what is involved in each.
2. Idea; Begin to brainstorm and develop an idea or ideas from your research concerning what the book is about and the audience. Start building the book and niche like an expert.
3. Timetable; Discipline is a key factor in becoming successful. Consistency! In writing a book, be able to schedule your times in order to be able to know how many chapters or pages you can script. And the maximum goal to be achieved. It also advisable to sit in the same spot everyday to write, unless it becomes uncomfortable or changing sitting positions are a factor in achieving your book goals.
4. Outline/Table of contents; You define what should come first and what and then subsequent developments. So one point generates another point and the other point generates this point. Spend time on how to broaden the statements and develop points. Topic = subtopic = ...
5. Make a draft; this is where you'll only receive feedback, opinions and be able to survey your niche and audience and jot the necessary points to include and add on. Ask questions relevant to the audience and book where necessary.
6. Edit; Find/pay an editor to edit your books for you and revise the manuscript. It is important to make your book quality. You might think you are better, best at writing and editing but the editor will make it.
7. Final edits; Read over everything when the editing is finally done to see how it turned out.
8. Cover Art; You can get or pay a graphic designer to do it by yourself. Could be a photoshoot of yourself and anything you think will best fit or cartoon. Also know the type of cover art that will best sell the book, observe the market.
9. Format; this is where you determine what type of font size you want for your book, the interior designs, number of pages and so on.
10. Now it is time to put up your book on sale, but before that, make an order of your book and have an experience with the order and approve it for your yourself before you go into marketing it.
11. Read over, inspect the overall finishing, the cover arts, edits, fonts and make sure it's how you want it and what you expect or know the consumers to buy.
