How To Write, Publish and Sell Your Book Successfully

Aspiring writers look for inspiration wherever they go. They might be talking to you in a cafe but also looking around for a story. Sometimes aspiring writers give up on the way without scribbling their story on paper, but sometimes they continue to write their story, yet not publish it. The solution is known to them, but self-doubt takes over the situation. To tackle many such thoughts, Rakhi Kapoor wrote HowTo Write, Publish and Sell Your Book Successfully. This book is inspired by her own experiences as an author.

This book is divided into six sections which are the stepping stone to becoming an author. The author discusses the rudimentary skills like learning vocabulary, choice of words, use of correct grammar etc., and the technique to arrive at the idea, dealing with writers’ block, and the pathway to compile your book, including preface, acknowledgement, the book cover and the blurb etc. The author has discussed the steps involved in approaching the publishing house, the perks and cons of getting published under a big name or self-publishing, and the need to market your book. It includes the complete roadmap. Also, the author has specified examples for a few topics for a better understanding of the reader.

The book is nonfiction and written in a formal dialect. This book has been written in a way to inspire a fond writer to write a book. The details have been dealt with delicately and are beneficial in clarifying the doubts. However, it would have been great to find issues like getting copyrights discussed in detail. Also, sometimes, even traditional publishers steal the work and publish it under the name of the recognized writer, but this issue wasn’t discussed in this book. There was a repetition of a few statements and topics amidst different sections, but at times it was the need of the hour. Nevertheless, it will assist aspiring authors in overcoming the hurdles and progressing with better clarity.
