Being a
gives you…
Get started right away in telling your story,
sharing your expertise, or teaching a skill.
Here are ten steps to
writing your book:
Think about the end goal of the book
you want to write and how it will serve
you and your readers.
Determine your goal.
Think about exactly what you’re
trying to communicate or teach
with this book.
“Inch wide, mile deep.”
Define your topic.
Begin outlining the chapters
and/or sections of your book.
Try to think from the end of the
book first.
Create an outline.
Determine how you will write.
Write using something that allows
you to easily edit and make changes
without wasting a lot of time.
Set up a writing schedule
and daily goals.
You can’t write only when you feel
inspired or motivated.
You must create a daily (or 5 day a
week) writing habit.
Create the environment.
Find a spot in your home that you feel
is conducive to writing.
Decide exactly what you need in
advance so you’re prepared every day
when you sit down to write.
Write, don’t critique.
Try not to constantly review and
critique your work. Just write.
You can always go back through the
book many times to re-write and edit
if you don’t like something.
Rewrite and polish.
Once you finish the book, set it aside
for a few days or a couple of weeks.
Then go back and read over the entire
book again, correcting mistakes, and
tightening it up.
Find a professional editor.
You don’t want a book full of
inconsistencies, grammatical errors,
and misspellings.
The editor checks facts and verifies
headings, statistics, data in graphs,
and footnote entries.
Publish it!
You don’t want your book to languish in
the documents folder of your computer.
Get it out there so others can read it, and
you can have the satisfaction of having
your first published book under your belt.
Everyone has to be a beginner in the
beginning, but the more you write, the
more of an expert you’ll become.
With every book you write and
publish, you’ll learn more and become
A Better Writer.
