What Are The Steps To Write A Book And Publish It ?

Answer 1

1. Suffer like all great writers do.

2. Suffer further and get a drop-dead, stunningly original story idea. (Take up drinking either single malt scotch, if you're writing literary fiction, or box wine, if you're writing romance.)

3. Write the book from start to finish while suffering.

4. Rewrite it. Suffer. Switch from scotch to brandy.

5. Take a month off to suffer deeply. (burp)

6. Rewrite it some more. Swear off drinking but relent when the suffering becomes too much.

7. Anguish (a fancy way to suffer) and pay a lot to get it professionally edited, but don't worry about it since you'll be able to pay for your newly acquired taste for martinis made with only Bombay Sapphire gin once the royalties start coming in.

8. Read the editor's notes while swilling cheap tequila on the Mexican Riviera, a trip you foolishly booked after drowning your sorrows at a dive with no name and only a blinking "open" sign in the single grimy window.

9. Suffer when you kick yourself in the pants and rewrite it some more.

10. Bite your nails while you wait to have the editor check it again. While you're waiting, you might as well have drink or two or three or twelve or...

11. Rewrite it some more after the editor sends it back.

12. Write a winning query letter that bags a Manhattan literary agent whose best friend just became the acquisitions editor for Random House and live happily ever after sitting on the front porch of your Newport mansion sipping Dom Perignon.

[Seriously, write the book, have it professionally edited, write a good query letter, send that out to 1.5 trillion agents, get an agent, and pray.]

Answer 2

There are many steps to write a book and many different paths to it's completion. I myself start with an idea and spend time taking notes. Names, characters, situations, lessons. etc. When I have a good amount of these, I go through and map it out very loosely. Try starting with a begining point, a middle part or goal. Then where does it end up? Sometimes I write chunks. I move around a lot. That works for me. You may enjoy a more linear path. Start with an idea and sit down and write it. Some people actually can start at the begining and go straight through! You have to play with it and see what works best for you. Now a days, you can publish it yourself! Just put it on your website! If you want money, you have to find a publishing house to back you.

Steps to writing a book:

- Put down a draft of your main ideas
- Decide on the theme or master idea of your work and put down a brief paragraph for your reference while writing (don't include this paragraph as such in the book)
- Gather all relative resources to support them
- Put down the final draft of each main idea supported by relative quotations where necessary
- Collect all drafts and arrange them in chapters
- Write an introduction to your work stating the main idea and whatever remarks you'd like the reader to heed before starting to read your book
- Think of a title to your book
- Re-arrange the chapters in a way that makes the development of the theme of your book look smooth, logical and clear to the reader
- Put down a summary of your work (it can be the last chapter if the literary work is not fiction)
- Read your book at one session - if possible - and make any alterations or amendments you deem necessary.
- If you feel satisfied, finalize your work by typing it at your computer in word format and save the draft by date.
- Every time you make an addition or deletion after this point should be saved separately by the date of the change so you can always refer to previous ideas that might need to be revived and presented.
- Print your transcript, read it once more, paying attention to punctuation, references, general appearance, and chapter titles. Make the corrections - if any - in red.
- Have a final script ready on paper.

Steps to publishing:

- Approach a publisher - there are many at the Internet if you like, just type the word "publishing" at Google.
- Or visit a publishing house in your city and show them the manuscript. They will advise you of what to do.
- If a publisher agrees to do the job, they will explain to you their conditions and if agreed, a contract will be signed, and they will start their work by designing a cover to your book. They will show you several options, and once the cover is chosen, you are set for the revision of a sample print (usually two or three pages) to decide on the page size, font color >> etc.
- Usually, publishers are responsible for editing your work against any grammatical or syntax mistakes by assigning your book to a specialist in the house. However, you can opt to edit your work yourself at your own responsibility.
- Once a final sample print out of the cover and the text pages are ready and agreed upon, you are done.
- The publisher will be responsible about promotional activities and book distribution.
- The cost of the book will be paid 50% upon signing the contract, and 50% when the book is ready to be distributed.
- Many other details can be discussed with your publisher before you pay the money, so be clear about what you want before signing.

Good luck
