Writing a book takes lots of hard work and time, but to publish it is lot easier thanks to Print on Demand at Azimuth Print. There are many publishing companies who can help you to publish your book, but if you just self publish you can keep 100% of the sales profits. If you print your book with us the final result will be stunning whether you choose one of our various styles of printed books including perfect bound, wire bound or hardback books.
2. The first step to writing a book is to create a plan for
how you will do so. This is where many potential
authors fail. They state their intention to write a book,
but never sit down and create a plan for getting this
done.
How often will you write? When will you write? Daily
or weekly? How will you organise your day to weave in
your writing? What will you do on the days you get
stuck? Writing a book is like a business and every great
business is started with a plan.
3. Plan your own cover design or hire a graphic
designer, like us, before you write the book. The
book cover makes the book real and it can
motivate the writer not to fall behind on their plan.
4. Once you have a plan, start writing. Some writers
can write a book in days, but do not worry, others
write their books over many years. If you shut off
your email, voicemail and contact from the world
for a single day you even can write a book in a day.
A great way to write your book is through
blogging. If you are blogging regularly, those
articles could eventually be compiled into a
complete book.
5. If you would like not to write all your own content, you
can hire ghostwriters.You can find ghostwriters for
hire on sites like elance.com or freelancer.com.You
put your job out for bid and let writers around the
world make pitches.
Ask a potential ghostwriter for work samples and be
sure you own the rights to the published work.Then
work out a plan for sharing your story with the
ghostwriter so that he or she can write your book for
you.
6. Once you have written your book, read it. As you
read it, you will think of additional chapters, stories
or lessons to share. Add them in before hiring an
editor.
7. Do not edit your own book. Hire someone who will
read the book, suggest edits, proofread and make
it professional. Editors are not 100 per cent perfect,
but in many cases, they will do a better job editing
the book with fresh eyes than you ever could.
8. There are many publishing companies who can
help you to publish your book, but if you just self
publish you can keep 100% of the sales profits. If
you print your book with us the final result will be
stunning whether you choose one of our various
styles of printed books including perfect bound
books, wire bound books and hardback books.
9. Plan some fanfare around the launch of your book.
A launch party is one option. Plan specials for your
customers and employees so they get some
incentive for ordering the book. Offer a
complimentary speaking gig to organisations that
order in bulk. Provide a free coaching call to those
ordering copies in advance. Give people a reason to
order.
