Reasons To Write

Monday, March 8th, 2010

For my blog visitors, I hope all is well.  As an author and publisher, I believe writers have an opportunity to preserve their thoughts, experiences, creativity and expertise in print, as well as other forms of media.  We all have a story to tell for others to receive encouragement, inspiration, education, entertainment, and more. 

Writing is a way the the author and the readers connect with each other over a message.  If an article, ebook or book’s message is strong enough and is shared by many, it can create change. 

For business people, it is a format that potential clients can take home with them, study, read, and learn from an expert. It can even be a way to prime a client before they embark on hiring you for your specialty.
 
If you are looking for a reason to write an article, ebook or book, those are really good reasons.  However, if you need another reason; according to the November 30, 2009 IBISWorld Industry Report, the Book Publishing Industry is a $25.7 billion dollar industry. 
 
There are thousands of new books released each year from small to large publishing houses.  If you choose to write, you will have access to a part of that $25.7 billion dollars when you write, promote and sell your written work.

All very good reasons for you to think about what you might be able to share with prospective readers.

Another Book Off To The Publisher

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

When you are writing online your format is different than when you are having a book published off line whether that is self publishing or having a publisher doing that for you.

Most people use Microsoft Word to write documents and the default page size is the 8 1/2 X 11.  If you also want to be published, decide which size you are going to have as a finished book and set your page size accordingly before you begin.  If you do this when you start you will not have to go back and transfer your information to a smaller size later if you decide you want to have a published copy of your information. This way you can use the content on or offline and do that more easily.

It is exciting to see your writing come to a finished product you can hold in your hand.  Something that for many is a long process.  It is actually quite easy with the tools we have available to us today so I want to encourage you to press toward that goal and break through any blocks you might encounter.  Even if you only have 1 copy on your shelf, it is a very gratifying experience to hold that book in your hand.
