You want to write a book? You can. You begin to write, and move on. About 80,000 words, you have a book. And now? You sell the book to a major publisher to reach the bestseller lists, and order your new cherry red Ferrari.
It's like writing a book and make published works. But if you try to follow this process - just sit down and start writing - the chances that you'll sell the book are slim. To sell your book, you need to know the type of book you are writing before you start, and if there is an audience for this kind of book. It seems unfair, but to sell your book, you must prove to the publisher that people want to read.
What kind of book are you writing?
Most writers begin their new book writing and publishing adventure reading a book and get inspired. They do not think the kind of book you write, or who would read it.
There are basically two types of books: truth and falsehood, also known as non-fiction and fiction (novels). Hundreds of thousands of books are published every year in English, both fiction and novels. You must know what type of book you are writing before you start.
Imagine that you have read a Harry Potter novel, and you're so excited that you feel inspired to write a novel for his own children. The words come from you; you are on fire. You write and write and write, and the pages are stacked on the hard drive of your computer.
This is great. As you write, ask yourself: "In a bookstore, where you put aside this book of mine?"
If you are unsure, go to a bookstore and wander the shelves. Your book is in the fiction section? In the children's section? In romance or mystery section?
If you feel inspired by Harry Potter, you know you've written a novel for children. Imagine your book on the shelves, alongside the ranks of Harry Potter.
This is not an exercise in futility, or a fantasy. You need to know what you write, so please visit this library. "What is it?" is the first thing the agent will want to know when you contact him to represent your book. It is also the first thing an editor at a publishing company want to know.
So what do you write? If you do not know or are not sure, think and visit a bookstore if necessary. You can write a book and be published if you know what you write, and want to read.
