How far outside your comfort zone have you stepped with your book project? Do you thrive on the tasks involved with publishing a book or is each new aspect torture? Do you love or hate the learning curve that you face as an author? <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re like most new authors, you\u2019ve faced numerous opportunities to stretch as you walk the publishing path, and it isn\u2019t all fun and games. Some authors actually attempt to bypass important steps and responsibilities related to the publishing process. They say, \u201cWhat do I need an editor for; I know how to write,\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t want to do any research, so I\u2019ll just go with the cheapest publisher,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m not going to promote this book\u2014that\u2019s what bookstores are for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authors with these points of view end up being one of the 76 percent of authors who fail each year. <\/p>\n
Publishing, for an experienced businessman or woman or someone with a strong marketing background is daunting enough. For anyone without this advantage, it can be extremely intimidating and overwhelming. That\u2019s why so many hopeful authors omit the most distasteful tasks from the process of publishing their books. And that\u2019s also why they fail.<\/p>\n
They avoid writing a book proposal. They decide not to spend money for an editor or a cover designer. They may stubbornly reject the idea of participating in book promotion. And several months down the road, when their book is dead in the water, they wonder why.<\/p>\n
If you dream of seeing your novel in print, you\u2019ve decided to publish your memoirs or you have a how-to or self-help book in the works, and you want a successful outcome, you need to take the process of publishing seriously. Publishing is a business, after all. <\/p>\n
Authors who can shift from the craft of writing and become totally committed to the process of publishing will have the best chance of succeeding in this highly competitive business. <\/p>\n
