How to Write a Book in 3 Simple Steps

Does initially writing a book seem like a daunting task? Rest-assured it often is, but don’t let the mere thought of it stop you. Rest-assured a book is going to consist of your informational insight, a wild imagination or your real-life experiences. Those are the core subject matter and the genres are simply sub-categories of what you write. So do you have your plan written yet?

What?! Well…start it! A book is a product just like anything else and you need to have a plan of action of how to proceed after the book enters the marketplace. This will be your blueprint to success and potential maximum profits should you market correctly. (I will cover how to in depth at a later date).

You must now identify your target audience. Here are three simple ways to do this:

1. Identify your genre. If you are writing a how-to this is probably meant to solve a problem. For whom? If you are writing a fictional piece what is the sub-genre. Perhaps it is fantasy. Then you’ll know to market to those who may like science-fiction or a similar product.

2. What is the age? Obviously by your writing style, you are meant to target a mature or a younger audience. This should be identifiable once you begin brainstorming your material.

3. By this point, you have already started to look out for publishers. Which ones entice you and why? They most likely entice you based on the reasoning of their fees, whether they are open to seasoned or new writers and who they market to.

Simply by doing this, you have taken away a lot of stress because you can now focus your energy specifically on a target and fulfill their needs and wants.

Make certain not to cram too much into one book (especially if it is a how-to). Your audience will be much more appreciative if your well-thought plan is covered in two or three texts instead of forced into one read.

Initially, select two nights a week to write and adhere to that schedule. Pick a certain time like 6-9 pm on a Tuesday and head somewhere with the least amount of distraction. Perhaps you can find a secluded corner in the library and focus entirely on the writing. If you feel tired, take a break and don’t force it. I find the best reads are those where the author narrates and tells the story with a natural feel.

So just let it happen. By doing some research and putting effort into it but not scaring yourself out of the commitment, you’ll be fine and be very successful in your new endeavor as an author.
