Editing -
Editing is an important
realization for new authors. I would say publishing a novel is approximately
two-thirds about writing and one third-about editing. Imagine that the reviewer
has found any typo error or any other kind of mistakes in your manuscript, now
what impression it will leave on him/her. Won’t it throw water on all your
efforts of writing an engaging book? A little mistake in your creation and your
book will get nowhere in the publishing world. Therefore, you must give
yourself enough time and attention to edit the book so that the content may be
completed error-free and ready for publication. However, if editing isn't your
strong suit, contact a reputed New Author Books Publisher that offers the
service of editing and you are all done with the stress of editing.
·
Submission -
Having completed the most
critical step of editing; your next step is to submit your manuscript for
publishing. Of course submission is not as intimidating task as editing but it
carries the equal weight in terms of significance. Going through the submission
process carefully is indispensably important because if you skip any aspect of
the submission process, it will not give a good image of you as a prudent
writer. You need to follow submission guidelines exactly so that it may
instantly catch the attention of publisher and you are deemed as a professional
writer.
Now, you might be asking yourself,
what does a publisher look for and what catches their attention first when they
read the manuscript, and most importantly, what will immediately make them reject
the manuscript?
The most significant thing that
you should keep into account is that, “writing is an art, but publishing is a
business”. Hence, publishers often prefer a manuscript that can be sold like a
hot cake. If your book looks very similar to other books in the same genre and
it has no “pick me” appeal, you might fail to hold the attention of publishers.
Furthermore, your manuscript has to meet other criteria also such as it should
be well written and engaging as well as it must have a story that may pull the
readers. When you tell someone about your book, they should say, "Tell me
more!" Don't count on the opinions of your friends and family, who will
say anything to just please you.

Publishing -
Publishing is the most
significant part of your book. However good book you have written, it will stay
nowhere in the market if not published rightly. Therefore, before you submit
your manuscript to someone, make sure whom you want to send it. There are many New
Author Books Publishers available in the industry today, so it's important to
do your research and eventually rely on the one that has created a niche in the
industry and has been the first choice of new authors for years.
Conclusion -
The key point to remember for the
hot selling of your book is that it is a constant process and the work does not
stop once you publish the book. It is just the beginning. Now the real work starts.
Tweeting frequently, writing blogs and Facebook posts, holding book signing
events and keep on promoting, promoting, promoting your book . . . these are
just a few of the things you should keep on doing actively to be a successful
writer.
