A common question that many authors are asked after publishing a book is "where do you get your ideas?" The answers of course can be incredibly varied, but advice and guidance, no matter how reserved or demonstrative, is something that all writers, particularly new ones, can directly benefit from. Often writers will have one close partner or friend that they will entrust their new works to. The ideas and views of this reader can influence and inspire the writer to make changes or edits in their story, and have a great benefit on the sometimes fluctuating confidence of the creative mind. There are many ways to prepare before beginning work on a novel - here are three of the most successful: * Before beginning writing on the core of a story or biographical work, a writer should ask themselves; "exactly what do I want to achieve?" After much consideration and deliberation, the answer should tell them the route down which they should progress before setting down to work. This is true regardless of the genre or type of work that they are proposing. It is also a vital question to ask whether or not they are planning on publishing a book in the conventional fashion, or with a self-publishing provider. The answer to this could have all kinds of ramifications for the organised author. * The commitment made to publishing a book is, quite understandably, the major goal of most new writers. It is also far closer to realisation than many will realise. By making use of the expert knowledge and cultivated industry experience of the most highly regarded of self-publishing companies, the dedicated writer can achieve publication in a genuine and validated form. By brainstorming and working alongside company employees - either via telephone, e-mail or face to face - an author can fine-tune their ideas of content, presentation and formatting. * With all kinds of guidance and advice available from industry professionals experienced in both traditional book printing and self-publishing, publishing a book can be a relaxed and straight forward experience. The personal confidence of a writer can be bolstered through helpful and detailed meetings with the experts at a reputable company. After all, the successful completion and publication of a writer's pride and joy is of interest to all parties, and is an aim that all parties will be striving for. As a realistic proposition it can become clearly in view.
