Why Project Researches Are Your Stock-in-TradeYou should never ever dispose of your research material.
Why shouldn’t you do that?
Quite simply because you never know when it might come in handy; the questions to which you found answers for your first project will return again and again in different guises when you set about researching on new book concepts. How to Cash In on Your Rejected Non-Fiction TitlesEven established authors get the thumbs down from publishers on submission of new work.
I should know because despite having 37 traditionally published titles under my belt, I have around a dozen still unpublished.
Here is what I did and what do if you’d like to cash in on your rejected non-fiction works… Getting Your Book Published Despite Constant RejectionYou try and try and try again to get your book published but each time you try to have a proposal for publication accepted, commissioning authors relentlessly respond with a terse, painful, “NO!”.
Stop beating yourself up over rejection – you are not to blame for the fact that you have yet to savour success in getting a book published - and you are not alone. Selling Your Books OnlineThe internet has emerged as a significant (albeit virtual) channel of distribution for the sale of books. All the major players are represented.
In tandem with dominant retailers such as Amazon, BOL, Barnes & Noble, every mainstream publisher has its own multi-function website. Choosing The Path To Traditional PublishingTo choose the path to traditional publishing is to follow in the footsteps of famous writers, artists, and musicians down the ages; the path that opens up the floodgates to recognition for your expertise, the path that empowers you to do what you love to do and get paid for doing it; the path that enables you to earn in perpetuity… Becoming The Reader You Want To InfluenceDon't fall into the trap of assuming that you see your writing through the reader’s eyes. You have to work at removing you from the picture entirely to become the person you want to influence. This is a serious issue that makes or breaks any proposal for publication. How Many Words? How Many Chapters?It's never that easy to estimate the eventual length of your first work but (as a rough guide) if you are planning on turning out 10/12 chapters your word count should be somewhere between 30,000 to 35,000 words; for 12/15 chapters allow for 35,000 to 45,000 words. Do not set firm targets at the outset though because as your list of contents develops so too will the potential number of chapters in the final draft. Establishing The Depth Of Your Accumulated KnowledgeNever take for granted that you already know enough about your special subject to fill a book. No one is that clever. Spend some time testing out the depth of your knowledge by making lists of what you know and what you don't know. Take particular note of those areas that require substantiation or where you are lacking corroborative detail. Choosing Topics For Non-Fiction ProjectsNo one willingly volunteers for instruction unless there is more, much more than mere passing interest in the topic, and therein resides the market for quality guides, instruction manuals and how-to books. However, before cementing your choice of a topic it will be necessary to run the data through several tests to confirm its suitability as the subject matter for your first book, your first potential bestseller. Why Writing Part-Time Works Best For Some AuthorsMost established authors start out writing on a part time basis and while many go on to make a career of the art form, others find it more convenient to continue writing part time for a number of reasons, including liberty to pursue other interests
