Hundreds, if not thousands, of people around the world love to write. Writing is a need. If you feel like writing – don’t stop. But always be prepared that writing and publishing work is a slow process. In this endeavor, the greatest virtue is patience. The journey from the paper/work file to the printer sometimes steals years of work. And after your book sees the light of day – the real harassment is just beginning.
Finding readers, and building a readership, is an effort that not everyone is capable of. For instance, if you want to write a book about gaming then you have to find the right people to read your book.
If you like to write, don’t stop dreaming. But make no mistake that your wonderful speech, unique stories, and your love for books will make you a successful writer.
Define the purpose of the book
First of all, ask yourself what is the purpose of the book that you so desperately want to publish. If it will be intended for friends and acquaintances, then you will make your life easier because it will not really matter if you missed a comma or your text is not perfect.
However, if you want to publish professionally, then stock up on patience and a little or a lot of money, because there is no such thing as a free lunch.
There is no good or bad book. For every text, there is an audience. The real challenge in book publishing is finding your readership.
A book about gaming: Is your story worth it?
Create a “stress group” of different people to give you feedback. The evaluation of the author’s ideas is subjective. Any story, even the most clichéd, could be liked. There are thousands of titles on the book market that do not shine with quality but are bestsellers.
A writer’s job is to write distinctively, inspiringly, and persuasively. Sometimes a weaker story can be compensated by the author’s style, but a weak narrative would defeat any idea.
Do not resort to friends and relatives who will surely encourage you. Get a second opinion on the story in your head. If possible, start working with an editor or someone who is up to date with trends.
Trends are important because, after all, the author is not writing for himself, but for the audience. It will be best if the writer succeeds in interweaving his own taste with that of the readers.
