Nothing is more incredible than writing your own story. Whether it’s a non-fiction book explaining how something works or something that happened or if its a fictional world you’re writing about, the process can be tiring but the reward and satisfaction you feel when you’re done is nothing less than euphoric.
Hours and days of work were put into your creation, including hours of brainstorming and research and editing, so you should be very very proud that you have completed a feat that not everyone can say they have done. However, whats the next step?
Chances are, if you wrote a story or a book, you want it to be shared with others. Finding a publishing house to print your book can be a hard feat, especially for a new writer who is not with a publishing house already.
Maybe you don’t want to make a lot of books, or your book was written to only be dispensed to family and friends, or you’d rather try your hand at selling them yourself at fairs or events. No matter the case, there is an option for you to do if you don’t want the hassle of applying for a publishing house.
How To Print Your Own Book
While you may think that printing your own book is hard and expensive, it is actually quite a streamlined process, once you know how to do it. A lot of the times you can also get a better deal depending on how many books you purchase, so it could actually be fairly affordable to create and print your book for your own personal sales. However, you need to know the steps to go about before you send in your order.
The first step is to proofread and edit your work, or hire someone to do so. You don’t want to print out an unedited copy, because that can look sloppy to the readers. This step can take a while, but it will be worth it in the end.
The next step is to apply for an ISBN and Copyright, to make your book registered and official so it cannot be plagiarized and stolen.
Next you need to format your book, making sure it fits all the requirements the publisher needs to make it into a printed copy. If you don’t know how to do this, many designers or tutorials out there can help you.
Now you need to design your book cover. Purchasing a stock image or paying an artist to design a cover for you are very good options, or you could make something yourself.
Lastly, you need to make sure your files are 100% ready to print, looking them over, then you pick a publisher and send them over for printing.
