Many new nonfiction books are brought out each year and have a successful
history of sales because the author has investigated the book development
opportunities listed below.
1.
Professional preparation of an author’s unedited manuscript, can
make it a successful book. “Self-publishing” is the term
used to define an author who brings out his or her own book and takes
on the responsibility of selling it to a pre selected readership. This
type of publishing can be extremely rewarding both emotionally and financially.
Thousands of self- published authors are earning five-to-six-figure
incomes from the books they have written. This is true, particularly
if the author is a professional who employs his book as a credential
and as a source of information relevant to audiences he or she addresses
in workshops, seminars, speeches and presentations. BestSeller Books
had worked with dozens of members of the National Speakers Association
to help them to create attractive books they sell to demanding audiences.
2. A second method for a potential author to get his book idea into
publication is to hire a competent and credentialed writer/editor with
experience in “book proposal” writing. Ninety-five percent
of all new nonfiction books published in the United States by major
trade publishers are contracted for, with an advance against royalties,
on the basis of a winning book proposal.
3.
A third method for a potential author to get his or her work published
is by submitting his manuscript, book proposal, or book idea to a small
publisher who may not pay a large advance against royalties, but who
may be eager to get behind the book and make it a success, particularly
with the author’s promotional cooperation.
4. There are a few book publishers as well as literary service organizations
who provide a selection of book publishing services, ranging from book
marketing, to fulfillment and distribution for a fee or percentage of
sales receipts. These are not vanity publishers! They are book packagers
and distributors. This option can be a very good one for the “self-published”
author who seeks reliable assistance for his or her total publishing
plan.
