Have you thought about becoming a writer and getting your book published? If you've come this far, it's because a seed was planted inside you and the desire was awakened. But don't be scared, everything in this life needs to be planned and needs focus for a dream to come true.
So here are some tips for novice authors, or even those of you who have published before but need a little help.
Let's go one step at a time! Come with me!
Define your objective: before starting to write, it is important that you have a clear purpose for your book. What is your objective in writing it? Who is the target audience? These questions will help guide your writing and keep you focused.
Plan the structure: After defining the objective, it is important to plan the structure of the book. What will be the order of the chapters and topics? What will be the introduction and conclusion? This step will help maintain the cohesiveness and logic of the book.
Write a draft: Once you've planned the structure, it's time to write the draft. Don't worry about being perfect. The draft is just an initial version that will be revised later.
Reviewing and editing: After writing the draft, it's time to review and edit. Look for grammar and spelling errors, and ensure the text is clear and coherent.
Get feedback: It's important to get feedback from others. Ask friends or colleagues to read the book and give their opinions. This feedback will help improve the book and make it even stronger.
You've come this far and you can't define a theme for writing your book?
Publishing a book really takes work, but in the end all the effort pays off and you'll want more and more. The important thing is not to let this desire die and move on.
And now, let's think about the topic?
Think about what you would like to write about.
What is your interest or passion?
What would you like to share with the world?
Is it a children's book, self-help, science fiction, etc.?
Check the trends in the publishing market.
What are the currently popular themes?
How does your theme fit into these trends?
After all that, what's the next step to publish my book?
You can choose to publish your book independently or through a publisher.
Independent publishing
In independent book publishing you have complete control over the editorial process, including cover design, content and release schedule. Plus, you retain 100% of the copyright on sales.
On the other hand, you need to take care of all tasks related to publishing, including proofreading, cover design, registrations, indexing, sales platforms, consignment, book distribution, among many other activities until the book get ready to be born. Also, it can be more difficult to attract attention to your book without the backing of a publisher.
