An author enjoys a series of eventful journeys while writing a new book. It begins with the decision-making process followed by the extensive research that any writer has to do whether crafting a fiction or a non-fiction before publishing a book on Amazon or any other platform.
Are you in a similar course or considering penning down a new book? Various ideas will jumble in your mind while you have to stick to any one concept in your favourite genre and keep focusing on materializing your thought process clubbed with the research you made for creating your next masterpiece.
What are the things a dedicated author does before publishing their book? Let’s take a jibe at the six things you might also do for writing an incredible book—
Deeply focus on the trend
The contemporary bestselling writers also have to pay attention to the publishing trends. From the style of writing to the contribution of the book cover maker and their thought process while putting their masterstrokes in the cover designs to lure more readers that are so enticed by the vibrant cover designs of any book.
Keep a close tab on self-publishing if you prefer it more than approaching any popular publishing company to print your book.
Whether it’s a fiction or even a translation you make for any author, self-publishing the book along with eBook publishing on Amazon or Google can earn you more royalty. Also, enjoy the independence of becoming your own boss while publishing the book by embracing self-publishing by collaborating with a reputed agency.
Feed your idea
Any writer has an idea or almost various parts of the story, play, poem and even an essay that they are about to pen. Thus a famous person rightly said anything is created twice- first in the mind and then on the papers. By following this bliss, you need to stick to that idea and feed it more before you start writing it. If possible, for more guidance, meet established writers and read books on the style and art of writing of the contemporary writers to gather more concepts on improving the craft of writing. You can also attend online writing courses or any crash course on writing offered by celebrated universities.
Choose a different storyline
Unlike the usual stuff, you can try to go off-track when it comes to choosing the storyline. Instead of allowing your ardent readers to assume the climax, weave an unpredictable storyline with a fine twist in the end to make the plot more convincing to the readers. Ask the cover designer to strategically design a book cover for your new book to make it more alluring to the target readers.
Stay in your genre unless you are in a mood to swing in various genres
You need to stick to your favorite genre for showing more creativity. Though history unfolds different stories of past authors about their efficiency in juggling in between tragedies and comedies from Shakespeare to Tagore, you can also swing in multiple genres or different forms of writings only if you have confidence.
Read more books- both classics & contemporary
To improve your knowledge, keep reading as much as you can from classics to contemporary books. Only reading can keep you updated and enhance your vocabulary and art of writing. For improving your status as a writer, you must develop a habit of reading. From eBooks to hardcopies, collect as many books as you can on various genres despite reading the widely appreciated books or hidden gems by talented authors of different eras. You can also get a membership at the local library.
If self-publishing, interview the top ranked agencies prior submitting your manuscript
During this process, interview one of the best self-publishing agencies ensuring your end-to-end services from finding the best childrens illustrators to designers for the cover and layouts of your new book. While conversing with the shortlisted agencies, you can figure out the versatility of the professionals, eager to publish your book whether on Amazon Kindle publishing or in printed copies.
Focus on these six things before publishing a book on Amazon. Get the best guidance from the eminent self-publishing agencies throughout the process.
