How do I start to write and publish my book?
Posted on December 31st, 2009 by admin
I never wrote a book, but I want to, my English is okay but not like the fancy words you see in most of the books.
Do you know any good websites that can teach on the basics, I have great idea of a book to write, but I am not a professional writer at all, not another story book.
Start from
http://www.bookemon.com/create_book.php
You don’t have to have any experience to write or any additional software installed, choose a book template to start and make your book in the online book builder.
Publish your book once you are satisfied with its content and design, review and approve to finalize it and then you will be able to purchase your book in bookstore quality print.
Forget the "publish" part; that comes after your book is completed and has been through several cycles of drafts and editing. To write a book, you sit down and write.
You don’t need websites. You don’t need lessons. You just need to practice writing.

First what you want to do is plan it, don’t worry about the fancy words just yet as many great books are simple and aren’t exactly very sophisticated all they need to do is draw a reader. A book has to be exiting the person reading shouldn’t want to put it down that is what makes it a good book.
here is a web page with a good guide

Firstly forget publishing.
Don’t even begin to think about publishing until you’ve wrote your book.
The last thing publishers what are "ideas" or half finished books.
Trust me I’ve been there
They hate it.
Secondly , you need a story line , a plot.
Without that you don’t have a book.
The best advice I can give on a plot , write about something you know and know well.
If you don’t know it well – research – research RESEARCH !
If you write about something you don’t know very well , someone will notice.
You said that your english isn’t great and you don’t know long words ….that’s not a real problem. Buy a dictionary and thesaurus and use them as much as you can when writing.
Also have you ever considered a creative writing course ?
You could find these very helpful

Books are classified – Academic, fiction, children story series etc.
Everyone has a story to tell, however, your story will determine the list of Contents and Headings of the book.
You do not need any website, your publisher will assist you with Assessment, Market survey, Arrangements, Picture insertions, Editing and Printing.
To assist you further, you can go to Bookshops or Libraries and read books that are written along your subject.

neither am i, but don’t let it hold you back! just go on Word and WRITE! authors dont have to use fancy words! i only use a few here and there – if you’re stuck use a thesaurus!
once you’ve finished a book just tell me and i’ll give you the names of some publishers, and show you how to send it off. problem is with publishers, if they dont like it within the first chapter they discard it – they get at least 75 books a week!
hope i helped!!
