Publishing a book - A dream come true

Publishing a book is the dream of most of the people, but many may not be in a position to write a book.  Those who are able to write the book will find it difficult to publish it.  The first step towards writing a book is a strong commitment.  Each day a fixed time has to be allocated to focus and write.  Once a commitment is made then a decision is to be made as to what should be topic on which something can be written. A proper research should be done on the topic.  There are many avenues available nowadays to do research.  Internet is one of the powerful tools for research.  One should make a thorough research. Choosing the right topic is better for writing the book.  Adequate time should spend in choosing the topic as wrong topic will make all the subsequent efforts go waste. One the major areas also to be looked into is the requirement of the market.  What the market is looking for and which topic will be more in demand.

Once the research is done and topic is chosen.  The next step will be to make an exhaustive outline so that it will be easier to progress gradually.  It should contain table of contents, which should be chapter wise.  Once the table of contents is done, it will act as a map in navigating and moving towards our goal of completing the book. It is better to go in for a self-publication. Nowadays there are many options and channels available for us to publish our books.  Some people think that by publishing a book they will be able to become rich overnight.  But remember that writing book is not an easy source of income.  One has to find other means to make fast income.  However there are chances that a good book may definitely generate revenue to the writer.  The book should also be beneficial to the reader and should be able to contribute to the society.

Normally I suggest that nobody should quit their regular jobs in order to become full time writers unless they have steady revenue from their publications.  Some have left their outstanding careers to pursue writing but utterly failed as writers.  Hence one should be careful in adopting the profession as a writer.
