Writers Group
What you will learn in Writers Group
Research
Research is used to fill the gaps in your knowledge of the topic, learn what others have already said in order to embolden your unique voice in the field, and to determine the physical characteristics of books similar to yours. You don’t want to stand out as a self-publishing author; you want to fit in. What section of the library or bookstore would you find similar books in? What are the physical dimensions of the books, number of pages, types of covers, etc.? How is your work different from the work of others in your same category? Research is easy when you know what to do and where to look.
Writing
Treat the dates you make to write like your best client. Would you cancel with your best client to do laundry, go grocery shopping or go out with friends? You’ll learn methods to avoid canceling the appointments you make to write. You will also learn about the other biggest problems for new writers: trying to edit while writing and self-sabotage.
Cover Design
Unfortunately, everyone does judge a book by its cover. If you want people to buy your book in book stores and online, your cover needs to be a perfect fit. Most people would not be able to identify what makes them leave a book behind, but it is often something they can’t consciously identify about the cover. We know how to make you a book cover that sells.
Interior Design
Most new writers are unaware of this piece of the process, despite it being the heart of what you’re selling. There are professionals who work to make the inside of your book comply with industry standards. This includes chapter titles, subheadings, font that aligns with the cover font, margins, page numbers, illustrations, and Library of Congress blocks. Beyond standards are the style choices that give your pages a fitting personality. Leave that to us.
Editing
Writing your book is only about 10% of the work involved. Once the words are out of your head, the editing begins. By the time you are finished, if you follow our process, you will have edited your material about 10 times. When you are finished, you will know your book forward and backward!
Peer Review
Peer review is a crucial step in non-fiction writing. You can leave this part out, but it is a great way to involve other perspectives to your content, making your book infinitely better.
Back Cover
When self-publishing, you’re more than just an author; you also have to be a marketer. No one knows your book like you do! We will help you craft the back copy of your book. You will be focused on the benefits for your target audience, and we will stay with you through your book release and beyond.
