March 2006 Newsletter - So, You're Done Writing Your Book, Now What?

Welcome to the So, You're Done Writing Your Book, Now What?March 2006 Write and Publish Fiction Newsletter. Well, my last newsletter experiment didn't work so great. Just 9 people visited the last newsletter's website. I have two solutions to help this. I am adding all past newsletters directly to the site and emailing the html version of the newsletter to all members.

Welcome new subscribers! The past couple of months have been very busy for me and I've barely had any time to keep up with the site because of my job in the Navy. Despite my absence, I still had over thirty new sign ups this past month!

For those of you who don't know how this works, each month I will base the newsletter theme on a new topic concerning writing and publishing fiction. This theme will include a top story, an associated article, questions and answers asked by our visitors, resources associated with the theme, book of the month, and recommended company that provides services for the selected theme. If you have any topics you would like to see in future newsletters or if you have an article related to writing or publishing fiction, email them to me and I will incorporate them into the site and newsletter.

Again, thank you for subscribing.

So, You're Done Writing Your Book...Now What?

Now that you're done writing your book, you must shift gears and redirect your energy toward the future. You must set more goals for your book, particularly where you want you book to be within a year from now. Do you want your manuscript to sit on a bookshelf as a stack of 8 1/2 x 11 papers held together with a large binder clip, or do you want you book to stand proudly upon a fancy display at Barnes and Nobles?

There are many things to consider after you are done writing your book. For instance, what's your book's cover going to look like? A manuscript is just a bunch of papers with words logically written all over them. But once you add a cover to your book, you turn it into a fine work of art.

Or how about finding a publisher? Maybe you'd like to self-publish your book or you'd prefer to spend some money and hire a professional publishing company to do all of the leg work for you.

Regardless of the fact that you're done writing your book, you must proceed to the next level, otherwise your literary genius will go unnoticed.

Here are some things to consider after writing your book:

1. Cover Design
2. Proof Reading
3. Editing
4. Publishing
a. Self-publish your book
1. formatting
2. Finding a good printing press
3. Distribution methods
b. Traditional Professional Publisher
1. Formatting
2. Agent Acquisition
3. Budget and Financing
5. Promotion After Publishing
a. Book signings
b. Press Releases
c. Interviews
1. Television
2. Radio
3. Magazine
4. Web
d. Web site to Sell Your Book
e. Book Stores
f. Book Readings
g. Direct Mail
6. Future Publications
a. Start writing another book

There is a ton of things to consider once you're done writing your book, so you're list of goals should never go dry and you should never simply relax after you're done writing a book. Try to make your goals realistic and attainable. You know your limitations. Set a date to each of your goals (a deadline) and hold yourself accountable to that date. Make a plan to ensure your goal is reached. Then repeat the process.

Your job as a writer merely begins after your are done writing your book, so keep focused and never give up on your dreams of becoming a published author.
