Writing

Knowing the estimated timeframes of each stage of the book publishing process is prudent. In business they say, time is money, and it should be accounted for, wisely.

Authors factor in a few issues when deciding on the size of their books to produce a competitive book in the market. These include:

Writing is a creative process that expands the concrete representations embodied in our thoughts. In book publishing, we say, “everyone has a story inside them,” but writing it depends on your idea. Every other detail in your story is there to feed and cushion the idea so that it serves its purpose to the reader. While there are many starting points in the journey of writing, you only need to figure out what works best for you.

The length of a book is an important factor as you write. In publishing, it is referred to as the extent. Despite the genre, market, nature, or subject, a book has a certain length that it is expected to be. It is what sets it apart from all other forms of publications.

If it is worth writing, it is worth publishing! Getting a book into the hands of the reader is a commitment. Congratulations on completing the manuscript and publishing that book!

Simply put, a writing coach is a professional and personal guide who helps a writer throughout their writing journey before their copy is handed over to the publisher. They are also called a book coach or book Sherpa. They are like the quality control button for a product.

Writing is often thought to be for the masterminds, requiring luck or expensive training; but that’s not how it is. If it is anything like that, then you are the mastermind!

Fiction writing is creative writing; although it can be inspired by actual events, it is not real, but is imagined and created in the mind of the writer, who then pens down the story.

With nonfiction work, you always have to get your facts rights. Many writers may not know the writing styles which they can employ when writing. Pick a writing style that best tells what you want to say and you can never go wrong with nonfiction. At times, the kind of work you want to write will indicate to you the angle to write from. But it all starts with penning down that idea, that thought, and your story will flow.
