How to Publish Your Book

    This page is all about how to publish your book. There are a few simple steps in the process of publishing your work. We will share with you the major areas of producing your book.

   The three big areas of your project are writing, publishing, and marketing. All of these steps contain several steps that we share with you in greater detail on other pages but we will begin the how to publish your book section by taking a broad look at the “Big 3” areas of the process.

• Writing - We share helpful information on writing your manuscript on other pages but I’ll briefly cover some broad things here. When writing you want to create a strong outline for your book and in some way write a totally new book than what’s already out there. Take a new spin on your topic and/or present the information is a fresh and more helpful format for the goal of setting your book apart from the rest.

  Unless your publisher asks tells you differently, you will do best by typing your manuscript in a simple Microsoft Word Document and saving it to disk so that you don’t lose it, should your computer crash. More on writing in the how to write your book section.

• Publishing - That’s what you want to know anyway, isn’t it- how to publish your book? There are three major ways you can publish your book:
• • Traditional Publishing. This is using a major publishing company to publish your book, wherein the author usually receives an advance of some amount to start the relationship.

  • Self Publishing - The issues with traditional publishing is the reason authors all over the world have the last decade, maximized the opportunities of self publishing. You can actually completely self publish your book by doing several things.

  • Pays better royalties
  • Gives better discount on author wholesale purchases
