HOW TO WRITE A BOOK

1. Start with a message, idea, story that you really want to share
with other people.
2. You should be an expert on your subject. If you write on success, you
should already be successful. If you write on money, you should
already be rich. If you write on relationships, you should already
be in a loving relationship.
3. Define your target market, exactly who are you writing this book
for?
4. Make sure that your market is large enough, containing
100,000 to 1,000,000 potential book buyers.
5. Buy, read, find out everything you can about other authors,
books or articles dealing with the same subject. Make sure your
material is different and better in at least three ways.
6. Gather all the information that you will need to write your book.
Do your research and homework before you start to write.
7. Organize your material into seven, ten, twelve or twenty-one
chapters, each following in a logical order, from beginning to
end.
8. Write out every key point in each chapter on a legal sized
writing pad.
9. Organize your points from #1 through to the closing part of the
chapter. Do this for every chapter until you have a separate
body of information on all the key ideas.
10. Begin with Chapter 1 and dictate the book in the order of
material you have chosen.
11. Once you have dictated the entire book, have a typist type it out
and give it back to you by email or disc for your computer.
12. Set up a work schedule with blocks of time of two, three or four
hours. Discipline yourself to sit at the keyboard and edit during
this time.
13. Edit the entire book from front to back the first time. Correct the
grammar and typing errors. Create the necessary paragraphs.
This is the longest, hardest job of editing in the whole book.
14. Write an Introduction, a Preface and Acknowledgements if
necessary.
15. In your second edit, break up the text with a heading every 2, 3,
4 paragraphs. Make it “bite-sized” and easy to read.
16. In your third edit, place a quote at the beginning of each
chapter. Create three, five or seven action steps at the end of
each chapter if it is a self-help or educational book.
17. In your fourth edit, which will take much less time, polish the
sentences, delete unnecessary material, make final corrections.
18. In your fifth and final edit, completely reread the entire book
from cover to cover. This takes the least amount of time of all.
19. The entire process above requires 50-100 hours of work, once
you have gathered all your material.
20. Always play gentle classical music or your favorite motivational music in the background. Music makes you more alert, creative and fluent.
