HOW TO WRITE A BOOK

·         DECISION: Decide what kind of book you want to write; academic, motivational fiction. Also decide the other stuff like the book volume, the title, the area you want to address, the class of people you want to write for e.g. children, youth, teens or adults. Decide how long it would take you to complete the book. Decide when you want to start writing etc.

·         Draw up an outline for the book. The outline becomes a guide for you to write within context. The outline should consist of all the sub-topics you hope to discuss in the book.

·         Design a time table for writing preferably daily practice of consistent writing would work. The duration each day must not be necessarily long. Everyday practice of writing works for me. I don’t know if it would work for you. Stick to your schedule.

·         Start writing and try not to be distracted until you finish the book.

·         Send your manuscript chapter by chapter as you complete each chapter to your editor/ mentor for proofreading.

·         At the completion of your last chapter review, your book is ready for publication.
