Your Written Book

You have an amazing idea for a book, so what do you do?  You dive right into it, of course!  In fact, you hire someone to ghostwrite it with you and start putting chapters together.  You can’t wait!

All we have to say is — WHOA!  Don’t put the cart before the horse!

Now, we’re not suggesting that your book idea isn’t incredible; after all, it might be as revolutionary as Who Moved My Cheese.  But what if it’s a topic already covered by another author?  You’re going to need to position your nonfiction book differently to gain exposure, credibility, sales, profitability and overall mileage.

That’s why the first nonfiction book writing tip we have for you is to research the competition before you start writing your book.  See what other authors have said about the subject.  See how their books have sold.  And then evaluate  how you can turn yours into something even more marketable.

Not only will you be saving yourself time and energy, but you’ll also be ensuring that you’ve given your book the best chance of succeeding right out of the gate!
