Basic Steps To Becoming A Published Author

By Timothy Long


Many writers these days wish to write and publish their works but that can be a bit impossible for now since the competition in this industry is a bit tight. But, one still has a huge chance in making a name and it can take a bit of time. At least, there is a hint of success. There should only be patience so the plan would go well. And, a writer must write a novel or his piece in the most appropriate manner.

If you have been writing for a long time and you still have not seen any progress, the least you can do is to go back from scratch. That way, things would be clean but you might need to follow the right steps to becoming a published author for this. There are several ways and they must be followed as religiously as possible. If not, you might lose your motivation because you remain inconsistent.

One thing you must do is to read. You can never be a writer if you do not read. That is almost untrue and it can also be unheard of. Successful writers today would also base their works on the ones they have read. Take note of this. When you have spare time, try your best to scan some good pages.

You may not be able to copy everything you have read but you will get the idea and use a bit of that idea to your advantage. It allows you to create a certain concept which would drop the jaws of your publishers and possibly the future readers. One thing you must make sure of is its uniqueness.

Then, you would combine them and create a new one. It would not count as plagiarism if you only take one fourth of the idea and not the paragraphs. Focus on the characters as well. Most stories may involve a lot of characters but you shall make sure they have spots for proper development.

Never forget the characters. But, they must not be introduced in an ordinary way. There has to be consistency and depth so the readers would be engaged in reading the story. If their personalities are shallow, it would be pointless regardless of their physical description. So, this must be considered.

Seek for a publisher once everything is done. There may be tons of publishers around but it does not mean all of them would approve your piece. Again, they are strict when it comes to this so you have to keep that in mind and make sure you present them something that can spark their interest.

Never forget to choose publishers. You must go to the right publisher so your work would not be that neglected. Try looking for the best cover arts. Or, you may hire someone who would do that as well. It benefits you and it will also be your investment. Make sure you do this without any problem.

Finally, be sure about the grammar. Read the paragraphs again after you have written them. Also, do not rush this one. It should take a little time but you will get there.
