Tips to help new writers get their ****?ks published
Writing a ****?k is not ***? difficult or daunting ***? it sounds and can easily be turned into a very profitable home business. Writing doesn’t require a lot of expensive equipment or a huge financial investment. In ***?ct the only tools you will really need are a computer, a word processor and a ****?d amount of uninterrupted dedicated ***?me. I’m guessing the latter is probably the most difficult thing for most of us to come by ****? there are some ideas it might help to remember.
Writing a ****?k doesn’t all have to be done at one ***?me or in one sitting, so don’t be discouraged by the idea that you might only have a few minutes to dedicate to your ****?k every day. No matter what your topic may be, making a clear outline for your ****?k can be roughed out with only a few minutes of brainstorming. Once you learn how to put your workflow in order writing about any subject becomes a breeze. And finally, YOUR ****?K DOES NOT HAVE TO BE 300 PAGES LONG to be a bestseller or very profitable for you!
When it comes to writing there’s really nothing to it ****? to do it. It’s the process of publishing that can be your biggest stumbling block. These days when it comes to publishing you have three major options.
1.) Traditional Publishing. Traditional publishing means once you finish writing your manuscript you submit it to a publishing house through a third party called a “literary agent”. Most traditional publishing companies ****?h ***? Random House or Simon & Schuster will NOT accept or read manuscripts submitted directly by authors ****? instead rely on literary agents to read and pitch them the gist of your ****?k.
On top of that, not every literary agent will review every type of ****?ks or story so if you intend to go the traditional route you will have to shop for and ***?tition an agent to represent your work.
2.) Independent Publishing. Also known ***? “self-publishing” means that you can get your manuscript published by a ***?lf-publishing house like Xlibris or iUniverse without the need to find an agent to read and promote your work. It’s a lot easier for beginners to take this route ***? there are ***?r fewer frustrating obstacles and there is a substantially ***?ster turnaround ***?me to ***?e your finished ****?k in print.
However there are some important differences to consider between traditional and independent publishing. In general it probably won’t cost you anything up front to find an agent and get your ****?k published traditionally other than ***?me. Most legitimate agents WON’T charge to read your manuscript or submit it to publishers, ****? the down side is that the publisher and the agent generally get to keep about 90% of the profit from your sales.
On the other hand IT WILL COST YOU upfront to have your ****?k published independently. The bright side is there is no lengthy approval process, you get to keep more of your own profits and you can usually ***?e your work in print within about 3 months from the ***?me you submit your manuscript.
3.) Online Publishing. Your third option for publishing is convert your manuscript to PDF format once you finish writing it on your computer and upload it to online ****?kstores like Lulu.com. You can do this in combination with your printed ****?k IF you choose to go with an independent publisher like Xlibris, ****? you will likely be on a contract that prohibits you from ***?lling your ****?k elsewhere if you decided to go with a traditional publisher.
Once you have your ****?k uploaded to a website like Lulu it will be available for sale immediately at whatever *****?e you decide to charge for it. With online publishing your ****?k could literally be for sale and earning you money within MINUTES of the ***?me you finish writing it without any hassle, approval process OR ***?tup fees.
After you finish writing and publishing your ****?k the only thing left to do is market it.
