WRITING A BOOK
Writing a book is possibly the hardest part of this whole process. It can take YEARS to come up with a solid story. You spend so much time writing, and rewriting, and editing, and reediting. You may even grow a few gray hairs from the stress.
Here are a few articles to help you start writing and stay on track.
FINISHING A BOOK
Are you done writing? Do you feel like a weight is lifted off of your shoulder? You should give yourself a round of applause because the hardest part is done.
But, you aren’t finished yet. There are a few more loose ends to tie up before you can even think about publishing.
Did you edit your book? Did you hire an editor? What about beta readers? A cover design? Formatting?
There are a lot of important things to do before you can publish. Here are some articles to get you started.
PUBLISHING A BOOK
You’re almost there! The finish line is within sight! You wrote the book, you did all of the editing and formatting and designing, now you are ready to get it published.
Are you going to self-publish, or go with a company? How does self-publishing even work? What platforms should you use? How do I get a publishing company to pick up my book?
Publishing your book might be the most complicated part of this process because there are SO MANY options and avenues to take. These articles will help you figure out the best path for you and your book, with actionable steps to take to get it done.
MARKETING FOR AUTHORS
I won’t lie to you, marketing is stressful, but it’s my favorite part. You won’t make steady sales unless you promote your book. With all of the social media platforms, it can be hard to keep up with posting and interacting, and building your audience.
Here are some guides on how to promote your book, and yourself.
MY FAVORITE PLACES TO BUY BOOKS
Yes, I am an affiliate for these programs, but that’s because I actually use them! Amazon is practically a daily essential – I buy groceries, technology, and clothes from Amazon. And books. Lots and lots of Kindle books!!
Book Depository is connected to Amazon, which is how they are able to offer free international shipping on all orders. I honestly just love the layout of their website. It gives Barnes and Noble vibes, but is more affordable… and FREE SHIPPING!
