Review & Description
How to Write a Nonfiction Book: From Concept to Completion in 6 Months takes the mystery out of the book-writing process by guiding potential and experienced authors through 6 essential steps: 1. Planning, 2. Writing, 3. Professional Partners, 4. Production, 5. Publishing, and 6. Promotion.
From helping you determine whether your concept will sell to actually selling your completed book, this is a writing course between the covers of an easy-to-use workbook. Each of these steps is a critical piece of the whole picture.
The Introduction poses some important questions: Do you really have a book to write? If so, what's holding you back from writing it? Why do you need a book? What does it take to write one? And what actually goes in the book, from cover to cover? Planning is the first and most important step. It means asking yourself all the tough questions about the book. The most effective way to plan is to write a book proposal.
Writing takes time ... lots of time. It's the nuts and bolts of any book. It takes desire, organization, and discipline. Professional Partners are all the people who help make a book come to life, and there are many. You may not need all of them, but consider editors, graphic designers, book reviewers, publicists, and attorneys. Production involves the elements needed to turn your manuscript into a book your computer and software, design and format, photos and illustrations, sidebars, endorsements, and more.
Publishing makes your book real, tangible. You have choices, from do-it-yourself to a top New York publishing house. You have to match the method to your needs. Promotion is the step many writers skip. It takes work to get your message into the hands of your target audience. No matter how your book is published, promotion is your job.How to Write a Nonfiction Book: From Concept to Completion in 6 Months takes the mystery out of the book-writing process by guiding potential and experienced authors through 6 essential steps: 1.
