Writing and
Publishing a Book
Sometimes the most difficult part of
doing anything is getting started.
Your mind is filled with unanswered
questions, racing with the fear of failure.
Once you start putting word to the
page, though, many of your concerns
will be assuaged and you can march
forward making a little progress each
day.
So many dreams and goals go
unrecognized because people are
afraid to take chances. If you’ve always
dreamed of being an author, do
yourself a favor and give it a try! If you
consider that you could do as little
as 20 or 30 minutes of writing a day,
what’ve you got to lose?
If you’re trying to learn how to start
writing a book once and for all, here’s
what you need to do.
Brainstorm topics, do your research, set
goals, choose a time everyday to write,
give yourself deadlines each week, set
a final deadline
If you want to publish a book through
traditional means, you can submit it
to various publishers most likely with
the help of an editor. While there are
a lot of benefits to book publishing
through a publishing house, you’ll also
find you have less control over the final
outcome.
