If you are a writer then it is very essential that you should have some knowledge about the book publishing after writing a great book. Here in this article we have discussed three most significant and basic points that a writer should consider to avoid wastage of their own and the publisher’s time as well. Hope the below mentioned points or the tips will help you lot after completing your book and its publication process.

The very first thing, which writers should keep in their mind that the book publishers don’t really care about content or quality of the book to be published. Even though you will like the fact, but it is a true fact that no matter how interesting topic you have selected or how hard you have worked on your book. The only thing they look for that will enhance total sell of the book and ultimately help them to earn lots of money from it in a period of time. Hence, it becomes very essential for you to do a complete research on your selected topic, even before you start writing on it to make sure that there is a demand on that particular subject or not? If, you have written a book on any topic that does not have much demand in market then in such case you really need to battle hard to publish your book.

The second thing that you should consider is while going to any publisher avoid explaining them the reasons which will make your book as well as you something like great. You just need to explain the reason that will make your book popular and will enhance it sell. To make the publisher understand about it, you can make your own presentation, stating the records of any other book on similar topic or subject along with their demand statistics. The more numbers of examples you can present in front of him/her, it will be much easier for you to convince him/her. In short, we can say that just focus on profit potential rather than the content of your book.

Last step or the last point that you should keep in mind where many individual get disillusioned is that you should keep this in mind that money, which you will make from your book will be very negligible when it get compared with the amount that the publisher will make. If you are actually lucky to have really a big seller that is little rare unless you are any known personality or celebrity, you can be lucky to generate $20,000 after clearing all the smokes whereas your publisher will generate around four times of your work. In simple terms, do not keep your expectation too high, as with just one or first book you cannot make huge profit.

If you really wish to make your book popular among the readers it is necessary that it looks exactly like any other professional book. A book that fits on a book shelf of any store is preferred. What you write inside the book should also resemble other books. Even after finishing the book you have to continue making its look even better. If you are new into writing and self publishing your book, remember it is a long way to go. So if you want people to notice your book, avoid some commonly made mistakes.
Unpleasant cover - If the cover page is not attractive enough change it and get it designed from a cover designer by giving away some coins.

Adequate structure – It is important that your book has chapter, serial numbers and a proper start, description in the middle and end. Without these a reader will find it difficult to keep a track of the story and may give up reading the book further.

Lack of proofreading -Try to detect each and every flaw and grammatical mistake in the book. If necessary ask for a proof reader who can most accurately find out minor faults.

No sections - It is always better to include all sections in your book just like any professional book has. The title page, copyright pages, index, publication etc. are some of the few.  Your readers will expect all these contents in the book.

Leaving Spaces - Keep it in mind to leave proper space for margin. Making the margins small only makes it difficult and boring. The font and its size should also be well maintained.

 No ISBN number -Do not forget to mention the ISBN number and barcode on the back. No book-seller will sell your book without having it.

Less is good – Remember that the reader is expecting a non-fiction book that has constant ups and downs. Keep it short and to the point. Too much becomes boring and reader may not find it interesting to apply your solutions to his problems. Avoid repeating things over and over again.

Lack of solutions to problems –Remember a reader reads your book because he seeks to find some solution to his problems that even you might have faced in your life. Therefore be precise in writing about ways by which you jumped out of the difficult situations. Writing what the reader expects makes you a great author.

Pouring out your heart – A reader does not expect you to write the same old crap that he has read before. Something new and fascinating is always welcome. So try writing things in a more real way and including real life incidences can help too.

Readers are priority – It is your duty to keep in mind what readers expect from your side. Thinking only about money making is not your motto. Your book should have a message for the readers and must support fair practices. Any false statements will make you a bad author.
