My
Book Kit
By Kim D.
Blagg
It has
been said that everyone has one book within themselves. So, if you
have always dreamed of writing that book, how do you begin and where
do you go once you have the pen and paper (or computer and disk)
completed?
My
Book Kit is a very concise, easy-to-follow guide to the new
phenomenon of what is known as “print-on-demand” technology.
It takes the old self-published idea of paying a printer mega-bucks
to run off 1000 copies that you just know will never sell and stashing
a case at a time in the trunk of your car, and creates a modern-day
manageable way for you to produce your book, whether it is a family
history, a collection of poetry, your own personal memoirs or what
you really believe will be the next Great American Novel.
My Book Kit includes these
chapters, which is the best way to summarize what it contains:
The Blueprints
Getting Started—The Book Has Yet to be Written
Tips for Novelists
On With the Story
The Biz Side of the Project
Preparing for Quality
The Instruction List
Preparing Your Book for Print
Cover Me Beautifully
Choosing Your Publisher
Get Ready, Set, Go!
The Waiting Game
Setting up the Business
Do I Need to Have a Website?
The Baby is Born!
Maximizing Reviews
To Market, to Market, to Make a Big Sale!
On with the Show
Who is My Reader?
Breaking it Down
Imagination Station
If you
have long dreamed of writing a book, and you have told yourself
over and over that, “I could write a book at least as good—if
not better—than that one,” but you face the mere idea
of actually digging in and doing something about it with great fear
and trepidation, My Book Kit offers you the solution to
your problem.
Now,
the real difficulty comes when you decide that was so much fun that
maybe you can do a second one!
Highly
recommended for anyone with “the writing bug.”
