Simple Steps To Becoming A Published Author

By Timothy Long


Some might think that publishing a book is as easy as buying it but no. The writers still need to go through a lot of stuff just to publish at least one book. So, those who aspire to do this must know the art of waiting. Publishers would not just get your story and publish it. There are things you have to comply with. If not, your dreams will remain dreams forever. Always be determined in doing this.

You would not grow if you keep on staying in one place. Thus, publishing a novel or any piece must be your goal now and it could happen if you try the basic steps to becoming a published author. This has actually helped tons of writers already and this should do the same to you. Take note of how it could benefit you but most of all, pay attention to the steps for they really help you to succeed.

One thing you must do is to read. You can never be a writer if you do not read. That is almost untrue and it can also be unheard of. Successful writers today would also base their works on the ones they have read. Take note of this. When you have spare time, try your best to scan some good pages.

They also read since the materials they read would serve as their reference and it gives them an idea on what to do. Think of a unique concept. The reason why other authors are denied is because of the storytelling. Telling a story is not easy since most of the concepts have already been overused.

Understand and know your characters well. Some would not do this. They just focus on the plot which is a bit frustrating. Paying attention to the plot is okay but it should not be overdone because you will forget the importance of character development. Keep in mind that they are the highlights of it.

It would be a shame to leave them on the side just because you do not know what to do with them. Besides, you do not need to be hasty. Hastiness can lead to disappointments due to the messy and unpleasant results. Some literally have no clear idea about it but they must be aware of this.

Try seeking for trusted publishers. It does not matter if it is a known one or not. The most important thing is that you get to publish the whole thing. Comply with their requirements and this can go well as planned. Some or most publishers would demand from writers and it means you should do it.

Present a piece or novel that would impress them and nothing else. This is only similar to looking for record labels for promoting music. You must also work on your cover. At least, make a sample so they would have an idea how this looks. It might add some positive points when they start to decide.

Finally, be sure about the grammar. Read the paragraphs again after you have written them. Also, do not rush this one. It should take a little time but you will get there.
