Many people do not know where to begin when it comes to creating a book - so using a writing outline format is a good place to start. The following tips have been assembled to help you write a book or report, or even a work of fiction. Hopefully, by following these simple steps you will have written your book in no time. Step One - Research
Market research involves learning about your target market, and discovering whether your idea for an eBook is a subject in which people are interested. Collect as much information as you can. Use a Mind Map to help you come up with ideas for your book. The more you know upfront, the easier the actual writing will be.
Step Two - Work Out a Title
Jot down a few ideas. It doesn't have to be final, but a working title certainly helps to bring an eBook to fruition.
Step Three - Mindmap to Outline
Turn the ideas from your Mindmap into Chapter Headings. Break the chapter headings down into subheadings - and add any notes for yourself as you go along.
Step Four - Write
Since you've prepared well in advance in Steps One to Three, writing will now be a whole lot easier. Simply get down the words you want to say in more or less the right order by following your outline, and here's the trick: do not edit at all until you've written the first draft. Forget spellings and grammatical concerns. Don't even read what you've written. Just get the whole book typed up first.
Step Five - Corrections
Now is the time to make any corrections to your text. Ask a few people for an honest appraisal, and accept or leave their advice accordingly. Either way, their feedback could be very useful, and because these people will not be as close to your work as you, they can offer an objective critique.
Step Six - Get a Cover & Good Formatting
You can either create an eBook cover yourself or hire a graphic designer.
Remember to present your text neatly and attractively e.g. add sidebars, bullet points, pictures, Table of Contents, and keep plenty of 'white space'.
