Creativity Works- Written for Kidmunicator



So you want to be an author. You’ve been writing for years and are constantly celebrated for your effortless, God-given talent. Well, there’s no time like the present to publish. If you want to become an author, but aren’t sure how, follow these few tips to turn your creative writing into your own book!


1. Compile Your Work: If you’re planning on authoring a book, chances are, you’ve already written a lot of pieces. Organize your narratives, articles, etc. and take note of your strengths. Consider publishing a compilation of your works as a book if they follow similar themes. If not, learn your writing strengths, and focus on topics and the style that would assist in producing your best work. By doing this, you’ll not only be able to learn the positives and negatives of your writing style, but it may jog up a great idea for a possible book.

2. Do Your Research: Nowadays, there are plenty of avenues when it comes to the world of self-publishing. With all the companies out, which do you choose? Be sure to research at least three different companies that you would consider. Weigh the pros and cons and compare different incentives, rights, and profit possibilities, prior to signing on the dotted line. Choosing the right company can be a major factor in the success of your career as an author.

3. Talk to Other Authors: Don’t re-invent the wheel! There’s no better source of advice than picking the brain of someone who has done it before you! They are filled with not only the knowledge you find online, but also the blind spots and pitfalls that you may not know until you experience them! Gathering information from others will allow you to be well-informed and ensure that you have a great experience!
