HOW TO PUBLISH A BOOK

In the world today, many people have a story to tell, a topic to teach: things that have the potential to help and inspire other people. One of the best ways to get your idea across a large audience is by putting it in a book. Some people will tell you that writing a book and everything that come with it is stressful-and it isn’t exactly very easy-but think of all the people searching for the story only you can tell, the knowledge only you can impart.

If you are a writer and your goal is to be an author, you need to know the steps to publishing a book. Now, more than ever, there are a lot of opportunities to write, share and publish a book while interacting with your audience. In this article, we break down the steps to publishing a book so that the process is easier for you.

Steps to publish a book

Write your book

Get ideas for the kind of book you want to write. When thinking of writing a book, you have to ask yourself some questions. Is it an educational book? Or maybe a journal or novel? Figure out the niche you want your book to be in and write the plot and bulk of what it is going to entail. Now is not the time to worry about editing or looking out for mistakes as that will be done later. For now, just write.

Edit your book

Now that the bulk of the writing is done, the next step is book editing. You would want to categorize your book into the genre it falls into, for example, fiction, young adult, non-fiction etc. When that is done, it is time to go over your work and edit mistakes or parts you consider unnecessary. Note though, that it is possible to over-edit a work and this makes the story bland. When you’ve edited as much as you possibly can, it is advised that you hire a professional book editor to handle the mistakes you might have missed. An editor will make your book look professional and give your book clarity without changing your voice. No one wants to read a book not properly written so you want to get this part right.

Publish your book.

So, you’ve written and edited your book. What is the next step? That would be publishing your book. A great option is getting a publisher help you so that your book can reach a large audience.
