I wrote a book, now what?



Congratulations on taking the first step



Great! You managed to get your thoughts organised and written down or typed in black and white, but what's next? Where do you go from here? You might be asking yourself what you could do to get your book printed or digitalised so that you can share it with the world who is anxiously waiting to read your story.


Well, firstly we would like to congratulate you on taking that first step, which is to successfully capture and organise your ideas in black and white. This, for many aspiring, new, and experienced writers, is the most daunting task; it is the first hurdle to overcome.



Is my manuscript ready for publishing?



If it is your first time writing and you're not certain whether your manuscript is ready to hand over for publishing, we have put together a quick guide for you. This guide will help you understand which basic factors to consider before handing over your script to get published.


This quick guide is absolutely free and will equip you with some practical advice to give your script that final tweak. It contains things you may or may not have considered, such as:

  1. Book types
  2. Genre
  3. Writing styles
  4. Audience
  5. Basic book structure or parts of a book
  6. Basic formatting before handing over to publishers etc.

Now, if the above sounds obvious to you, then you may have done your research or be an experienced writer. If not, we strongly encourage you to download the quick guide and review it before moving forward.
