Not all people are born to pursue the same path in writing. Not all
people are destined to become a book author and not all aspiring writers
are destined to be successful and best selling novelists. Your book
needs to be published, bought and read by the people before you can
claim yourself to be a book author or a successful novelist. So first,
you need to publish your book before people can recognize you’ve written
that manuscript. Today, the entire complex process to make it happen
has been abridged in parallel with the world’s high technology. You
don’t need a publisher when you can self-publish your book. Nobody is
required to approve your time and your effort.
First, focus on your expertise
Every aspiring writer has specific interest. Before thinking about
moving forward, make sure what genre your book embraces. Know who your
book audience are and see to it that your book catches their attention
by their first time looking at it. Impress the readers with what you
actually know and what you can share to them.
Impress yourself
You as an author, have all the right to judge your book before others
can. Judge your book first by its cover. When you are not satisfied
with the design of your book’s cover, try one more time and even several
times until you will be satisfied. When you are content with the
outcome of the design, there is no reason why others might not be
feeling the same.
Know NO Stipulations
You can go on and
start self-publishing your book
with no required approval from huge publishing houses. You simply do it
by yourself and continue until you reach the highest peak of your
self-publishing. How does it work without the aid of these gigantic
companies which used to be contacted by aspiring writers and given
proposals for possible publication of their works?
Scale yourself. When you think you can do everything such as editing
your work over and over again; then you can just do it and save that
money you can pay for a professional editor. You are the boss in this
new trend in the world of literature; so you’ve got the power to
manage the way you want your self-publishing go.
Be professional
Imagine yourself receiving criticisms from the readers about your
book. Surely you can’t impress everybody but if all of them are
complaining about the same problems of misspelled words and grammar
issues; then the problem really exists. Make sure your book is
well-edited and the flow of the content is smooth so readers won’t be
misled.
Price your book as low as possible
Especially when you are just a new author and are self-publishing,
people do not want to spend much of their money on your book. You need
to do the experiment first by setting a very low price for your book and
from there you will know if they have the sympathy for the genre you
are trying to lay emphasis on. When you are sure you’ve done all the
professional works necessary to perfect your book; there is no reason
they won’t be impressed by it and that’s the beginning of your name to
be established. In that case, you can start setting price for your next
books that is reasonable for both of the readers and you.
