Begin by brainstorming title ideas. Come up with at least five and preferably twenty or more potential titles that encapsulate your subject. Begin with the rising action, the part of the story where events build. Then describe the climax, where the story reaches its most dramatic or interesting point.
Create an attention getting display for your book. Use flowers, bright colors, banners, etc. Create a book marketing plan before you leap to buy expensive programs. Almost 81% of our North American population say they would like to write a book.
All professional writers get paid to write their books. They sell their books via proposals before they write the books. Proposals take relatively little time to go through; thus proposed reviewers are usually happy to take them. A manuscript, however, may take up to 20 hours to read closely and review, and many academics will not accept manuscripts for this reason.
Editors are reluctant to make major changes to your text at this stage-it is too bad if you want to rewrite a passage-but are eager to correct factual errors, typos, problems with images, etc. so check that everything is at it should be, as the next time you see your article will be as offprints or in the journal itself.
Is a bibliography provided? Finally the sample chapters demonstrate your ability to write, and they give an editor a sample of your style. If you are writing a review, be careful not to give away important plot details or the ending.
