New Authors - New vision - Valuable Hints
Congratulations on your decision to get published!
The first questions to ask you are these:
1. Why have you become an author?
2. Why did you put pen to paper?
3. What are your goals, intentions or heart's desire for writing?
4. What is your REAL purpose?
5. Are you seeking to share your thoughts in order to bless/educate others?
6. Or are you seeking fame and fortune with this process?
7. Is this to validate you or just to make a point?
8. Is this to save SOULS for God.
9. Is this for Kingdom sake?
10. Is it to bring God glory?
We encourage you to do a little soul searching because that will govern the outcome of your book publishing experience.
HERE ARE SOME VALUABLE HINTS:
1.First, as to the writing process, follow your inner critic.
Don't stop working on a piece until it is something you would be excited to read.
2.Second, as to the editing process, pass your work out to your friends/peers. Ask them to be honest and give their
gut-level opinion. Demand it of them. Most will be nice and want to be encouraging.
Tell them you'd like to know what they loved and what they didn't like about the book.
Rewrite and reshape the book so that the reader's interest is captured on page one and carries them through
your entire book.
3.Post a few chapters online at a website whose URL has a catchy link to you or your book title.
Put up some sample chapters and see if it catches a following.
You can do snippets of it as a blog, or even put the whole thing. Test the audience response.
If they love it, they'll buy your book.
4. If there's a growing demand, you can publish it in book form through us.
5. The most important factor here is to have a compelling, contemporary book cover designed by a professional.
6. People who don't know you will not read a book that looks like it was produced in a garage.
7. It needs to look like a real book. Then, depending on interest and financial realities we can help you design a nice cover and help you publish them.
8. Have a realistic expectation about your book. Enjoy the buzz of writing and the process itself but be careful.
9. Many authors tend to be too optimistic about their books.
Ninety percent of self-published titles do not sell more than 200 copies.
So please be realistic!
