Writing a book is no easy task, but trying to do it without guidance is almost impossible as a beginner, not to say time consuming. You don't need to be a professional writer in order to publish a book, as long as you have something to say that's worth saying then I say go for it. With this book on how to write books I will help you with some techniques that have helped me write and publish over 10 books in one year. Everything I wish I knew before starting writing and publishing my own books will be included in full detail in order to help you out as much as I can.I'm sure that you're a busy individual who values his or her time, therefore this book is focused on teaching you as much helpful information as possible in the least amount of pages. I'm going to cut out the fluff and leave as much juicy meat for you to consume fast. This way, you can start writing your own book this month without wasting any time trying to figure out how to do it. If you want a 100,000 word book on how to write and publish then this is not for you but if you're into efficiency and getting things done then you've come to the right place.Throughout the book there will be tips and techniques I've used myself and seen other successful writers use themselves. Keep in mind that what works for me might not work for you and vice versa. I can give you all the tools you need but nothing will work unless you do. It might feel frustrating at first because you'll want to try many different styles but this book and what I'm planning to teach you goes beyond that and it is probably going to be more valuable than just learning how to write a book. I will teach you how to get to know yourself. Some of the lessons included in this book are:- Where to start.- How to write a book.- Where to write it.- What to do before publishing.- How to publish your book.- How to publish books as a business.And much more!

What do you do, or more precisely, what can you do if you want to write a book and get it published for the first time but don't exactly know how to do it? Needless to say, you can ask those who have done it or you can read up some how-to-write-and-get-published books. Such books are usually quite thick, filled with information, from cover to cover, that are good to know but not necessarily helpful especially at this early stage of your putting-pen-to-paper-and-then-getting-it-published journey right now. Researchers (such as psychologists Paul Slovic and Daniel Kahnema, a Nobel laureate, in their 1974 study) have found that too much information can be counter-productive and deliberating - it leads to what is commonly known as analysis paralysis. This is especially so when the we cannot decide how much information is enough and when enough is enough. Obviously, we can't do without any information at all. But at some point, we need to stop thinking and start doing! Before I got our first book (which I co-authored with my brother) published, I too bought one and borrowed (from the library) a few how-to books on book writing and publishing. Since they were, and still are, very thick, I never did complete any of them. I felt bad for a while. I remember telling myself in the mirror, "Hey Ken, if you can't even finish reading them now, how on earth can you even start and complete writing your own books later on " Eventually, I got fed up of being fed-up. It finally dawned upon me that I did not have to read all of them first before I start writing! Not that there were anything wrong with those books. They were doing perfectly what they're supposed to do - to show readers the A to Z of how to get published! The problem was not with the books. It was me. I was just using them the wrong way. Those books were not meant to be read page by page and chapter by chapter - only to be used as a guide, as a go-to place when one gets stuck. So, I stopped reading them altogether, went straight back to doing what I was supposed to be doing - writing my manuscript until the very end. Trying to read up the entire how-to-write-and-get-published book first before you start writing the first draft of your manuscript can be likened waiting for all the traffic lights ahead of you to turn green before you even start the engine of your car! Once awakened, I never looked back. I didn't go back to those books again. Even if it was just for referencing purposes only. I chose to rely on good old common sense to guide me through. So far it has got me published twice with two different publishers. Unlike what's being suggested in most American-authored how-to-get-published guides, I didn't need an agent to get me any book deals in Malaysia. And I suspect if you approach a small or even medium-sized publisher in America directly, you probably won't need any agents either. I might be wrong, but if you don't try, you will never know. One of my mentors and a dear friend, Mr Tansel Ali, a four-time Australian Memory Champion, TEDx speaker, corporate keynote speaker and celebrity memory coach who had authored two best-selling books with his publisher in Australia, never had to deal with any agents either. This book tells you only the few things that you really need to know - no fluff. The entire writing-and-getting-published process really isn't as difficult as what most people would have made it out to be. The difficulty of writing and publishing is more mental than physical.

In the late 1950s, Ted Geisel took on the challenge of creating a book using only 250 unique first-grade words, something that aspiring readers would have both the ability and the desire to read. The result was an unlikely children’s classic, The Cat in the Hat. But Geisel didn’t stop there. Using The Cat in the Hat as a template, he teamed with Helen Geisel and Phyllis Cerf to create Beginner Books, a whole new category of readers that combined research-based literacy practices with the logical insanity of Dr. Seuss. The books were an enormous success, giving the world such authors and illustrators as P. D. Eastman, Roy McKie, and Stan and Jan Berenstain, and beloved bestsellers such as Are You My Mother?; Go, Dog. Go!; Put Me in the Zoo; and Green Eggs and Ham. The story of Beginner Books—and Ted Geisel’s role as “president, policymaker, and editor” of the line for thirty years—has been told briefly in various biographies of Dr. Seuss, but I Can Read It All by Myself: The Beginner Books Story presents it in full detail for the first time. Drawn from archival research and dozens of brand-new interviews, I Can Read It All by Myself explores the origins, philosophies, and operations of Beginner Books from The Cat in the Hat in 1957 to 2019’s A Skunk in My Bunk, and reveals the often-fascinating lives of the writers and illustrators who created them.
