Nonfiction books come in all shapes and sizes and if you are an author or meaning to become one and publish your book then it is very important for you to know the types of non-fiction books commonly in circulation.

That is why we bring you this blog where we help you learn about nonfiction books and all the common types of nonfiction books along with examples of nonfiction books.

While we do not have any specific section for nonfiction books’ meaning and general history but non-fiction books in general are books that are based on fact and data.

The more we explain and define these types of books, the more you will be able to understand this category of books and all its genres

So, let us look at the different genres and subcategories of non-fiction looks.

These Are the Types of Non-Fiction Genres

We are going to break down nonfiction genres into two primary categories and that is going to be narrative and expository non-fiction.

Narrative Non-Fiction

Biographies, Autobiographies and Memoirs

This is going to be the first category of narrative nonfiction simply because this is primarily narration rather than stating facts.

There is going to be a single person who is going to narrate a lot of things about their life or even talk about the life of someone else in narration.

This is still considered nonfiction simply because it is fact-based and talks about something that really happened in reality rather than imagination.

If we talk about narrative nonfiction then this is probably the first thing that will come to anyone’s mind and let us talk about a popular example.

Example:

• “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank

If we talk about this genre then we have to talk about one of the most impactful and one of the most renowned autobiographies ever created in the world.

You probably know about this but it is an autobiography about Anne and she is a Jewish girl who is hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation.

Crime Literature Books

Crime literature or true crime literature as it is popularly known as, is about criminal cases and it is about journalists trying to uncover the truth behind different crimes.

While it might be expository in nature stating facts but it is presented in a narrative structure with the journalist following different investigations and legal proceedings.

There is definitely storytelling in play and it can definitely be something like Sherlock Holmes but only based on reality and something that actually happened.

Example:

• “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote

If we talk about true crime then we have to talk about this because it is one of the pioneering works of narrative non-fiction crime novels.

It talks about specific crimes and also explores the justice system and delves deep into the trial of the criminals.

Capote uses extremely good storytelling and produces something that is a hallmark when it comes to this genre.

Travel Literature Books

Travel literature is also a quite popular genre of book and especially the narrative type of nonfiction literature.

When we talk about travel literature we do not just mean travel guides because these guides do not have a lot of narration in them and only talk about practical travel tips and much more.

But travel literature is just like travel vlogging but in a book format and is an acute record of travel experiences and narration about the experiences and self-reflection and much more.

Example:

• “The Great Railway Bazaar” by Paul Theroux

If you like trains and if you like to know what it was like to travel from Europe to the Middle East and even India and South Asia then this is the perfect novel for you.

This book has everything from culture to encounters with incredible people and very deep and personal observations.

This is truly one of the most captivating examples of travel literature in the world.

Environment literature

And finally, we have environmental literature which talks about environment preservation and different issues regarding the conservation of nature.

While it is a rare genre in the category of non-fiction but it is still a remarkable category of literature simply because it talks about very important issues.

That is why if you care about the environment then you should truly check this out if you manage to find a good book about it.

Example:

• “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World” by Peter Wohlleben

The name can be a mouthful but if you explore this novel then you are going to learn so much about trees and how they communicate and how ecosystems form.

This is a book not just for anyone interested in the environment but really for everyone because this book is a treasure trove of knowledge about our environment.

The best thing about this book is that it looks at trees from the perspective of living things that interact with each other just like us.

Expository Non-fiction

Historical Non-fiction

When we talk about historical expository nonfiction we do not mean textbooks because sometimes they can be confused with historical nonfiction but we mean books that dive deep into sociological as well as political context of history.

These can be history books about historical figures and they can be history books about different situations of the past as well.

This is properly the most popular kind of non-fiction book because it deals with facts and deeds and that is why they are highly regarded.

Example:

• “The Guns of August” by Barbara W. Tuchman

This is a very important historical non-fiction book that talks about the events that led to World War 1.

This is the kind of book that talks about the political situation of that time and also talks about the different ideologies and the different structures of power in Europe before World War 1 and how everything led to the Great War.

Essay

Well, there is not much to talk about essays because you know how important they can be to literature because they can be about every topic possible.

They help in stabilizing arguments and they help inform society by talking about different topics in an analytical manner.

In fact, essays are one of the oldest forms of nonfiction and they can be informative but at the same time persuasive as well.

Example:

• “The Souls of Black Folk” by W.E.B. Du Bois

Now this is one collection of essays that is truly magnificent in dealing with topics like racial identity and equality for African Americans in the USA.

This is a collection that has been so influential that nearly every influential American has read it in some form or another.

This is the essay book that American presidents read and it is something that you should read as well.

Science Novels

In our quest to find expository non-fiction genres, we bring you one of the most popular types of nonfiction novels.

Science novels or popular science as it is also known are slowly but surely becoming one of the most popular categories for young people all over the world.

This is because these novels talk about some of the most complex and perplexing ideas about the universe and science in a non-scientific way that is understandable by everyone.

These novels or books should not be confused with textbooks because they are not.

Example:

• A Brief History of Timeby Stephen Hawking

If we want to talk about science novels then this has to be the first and one of the most influential examples in the world.

This book deals with black holes and the Big Bang and the origin of time and space and so much more.

It definitely helps to have a degree in quantum physics if you want to completely understand this book but you can still try it out and it will be just as interesting.

Philosophy

When it comes to philosophical non-fiction books, this is quite a genre because the legacy of non-fiction philosophical books goes back centuries if not millenniums.

Every thinker of every generation who has ever written a book falls into this category.

You can expect everyone from Marcus Aurelius to Nietzsche in this category of nonfiction books and you should definitely give them a try because they have the power to change the world and if not the world then at least your perspective on life.

Example:

• “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius

If we have to talk about philosophical non-fiction books then we have to talk about this book that talks about the belief system and reflections of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.

This is the perfect example of a book that talks about deep reflections that are stoic in nature.

Religious Books

This is quite a popular category when it comes to nonfiction expository books because religious books are always in demand.

You can find these kinds of books from every major faith in the world and they are sometimes written by the preachers of the faith.

These books can be sometimes written by someone outside the faith who is trying to learn more about that religion. You can even categorise these books into motivational books and self-help books as well.

Example:

• “Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion” by Sam Harris

If you want to explore spirituality without going into religion and power and politics then this is a very good book to read.

If you are an atheist then you are going to like this book even more because it talks about spirituality from a very scientific perspective without the involvement of religion.

Sociological And Political Books

While these can be categorized into philosophical books but they are a little bit different from physical books.

This is because sociological and political books go deep into society in a more political and even economic context and explore different situations in societies.

These kinds of books are more academic in nature and they can be released by independent organisations and researchers and sometimes even by government institutions to help understand different issues in society.

Example:

• “The Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

You don’t have to agree with this book to read this book because this is one of the most influential books of the 20^th century for better or worse.

This book is primarily a sociological book that talks about society in general and while this book also goes into philosophy but it is very much a sociological and political book that talks about class divide and important issues.

Motivational Books

When we talk about nonfiction books we simply cannot ignore the impact of motivational books and self-help books.

These kinds of books can also be classed into the category of philosophical books but they should have their own class in our opinion.

These kinds of books are primarily written for motivation and to help individuals improve their life and their outlook on life and much more.

While it is debatable how effective they are but they are definitely popular and people do read them.

Example:

• “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” by James Clear

This is a fantastic book and if someone really follows this book and its guidelines then they can definitely bring a positive change in their life.

And even if you do not agree with the ideas in the book you can simply pick up a copy of Atomic Habits from your nearest bookstore and just give it a read because it is a good read.

Textbooks

We thought this had to have its own because they are definitely one of the most read genres if you can even call it that.

You can even call textbooks it’s on sub-category because there is so much that you can include within this category of books and it can be anything from the book of a toddler to the book of a PhD student.

This is probably the most popular and the most readily available type of book in the world because this kind of book is not for casual reading.

Example:

• Anything that you might have read in school can be categorised as a textbook and if you are still in school then you need to open your backpack and take out anything and it will be a textbook.

Cookbooks

This is one of the oldest and one of the most traditional types of non-fiction expository books out there in the world.

These kinds of books can be just about recipes and they can also be history books that talk about society as well as the origin of recipes and food.

This is a rabbit hole because cookbooks are a treasure trove of information and may start with a recipe and end with the political situation or the societal situation of an empire or civilization.

They are highly influential and you can get them in every language in the world.

Example:

• “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly” by Anthony Bourdain

If you have to talk about cookbooks then we have to talk about something by Anthony Boudain, one of the greatest legends in the culinary world.

This is not just a cookbook but it is a book that talks about the entire restaurant industry and behind the scenes of the industry.

Parenthood Books

This is a very unique category of nonfiction books that not only speaks about motherhood but parenthood as a whole.

These books can be in the form of books on how to be parents and also books on things to avoid as parents.

These kinds of books are not only very popular but actually very helpful for new parents who are trying to figure out what is parenthood for the first time.

Example:

• “The Montessori Toddler: A Parent’s Guide to Raising a Curious and Responsible Human Being” by Simone Davies

If you want to learn about the Montessori style of raising a child then this is the perfect book for you.

It will definitely help you understand how to help your child grow in a supportive and educational environment full of growth and understanding.

Business Books

Business books are exactly what they sound like and they talk about business and economics and other important aspects of knowledge like investing and management etc.

Business books can talk about how to manage businesses and they can also talk about different historical events in the world of business such as the 2008 financial crisis.

Business books can be anything you want and it can be about the global economy or a regionalised economic understanding of business.

Example:

• “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action” by Simon Sinek

If you want to understand business and leadership and organisation and if you want to imbibe those skills before you start a business, this is the perfect book for you.

This book will help you understand the relationship dynamic between clients and companies and will also help you understand how to manage employees and do excellent organisation.

Fitness and Diet Books:

The name is self-explanatory but we are still going to help you understand what kind of books these are because these can be books recommended by your nutritionist.

These can be books about exercise and these can be books about healthy lifestyles and so much more.  They will help you focus on your health and develop good eating habits and good lifestyle habits.

These kinds of books can also be used by people who are into exercise and fitness and these books can help you gain a deep understanding of muscle development and much more.

Example:

• “The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet” by Robb Wolf

You might have probably heard about the Paleo diet because this book is just about that and it will help you understand how our diets have evolved from our ancestors to the modern human being.

This book offers quite a different perspective on diets and health and will definitely help you understand the science behind a good diet and how to conserve energy and lead a healthy lifestyle.

DIY and Crafts

If you are into art and you want to start a business by creating your own art then this is the perfect kind of book for you.

If you are into recycling things that other people throw out such as bottle caps and other household items into art then this is the kind of book you are going to love.

Do-it-yourself(DIY) books will help you with everything and not just make something that looks good but is also very functional.

Example:

• “The Big-Ass Book of Crafts” by Mark Montano

If you want a book that has everything about arts and crafts as well as do-it-yourself(DIY) projects and if you are a true crafter then this is the perfect book for you.

It has excellent step-by-step instructions that are surely going to improve your arts and crafts skills by a lot.

Then there are books on learning languages but language learning paperbacks are not as popular because of learning apps and how can we forget children’s nonfiction books?

Then we also have comedy books and books on jokes and so much more. There are so many genres that we need a part 2 to truly explore non-fiction books.

Common Non-Fiction Books FAQs

Is non-fiction a genre?

No, non-fiction is not a genre and it is a category of books that are based on fact and reality rather than imagination and fiction.

Within non-fiction, there are many genres and subgenres. And they go on and on.

What Are The Types Of Nonfiction?

When it comes to nonfiction, you basically have two subtypes and they are narrative and expository. Within them, you have a lot of genres.

These can be in the form of historical books as well as philosophical books and biographies and autobiographies and educational books such as textbooks and so much more.

You can have books on philosophy and you can have books on music and art as well as culture and anything and everything you can think of that is based on reality.

How Many Nonfiction Genres Are There?

There is no definite answer to this because some people say that there are 25 genres in nonfiction and others say there are 30.

Some people can categorise both fiction and nonfiction into nearly a hundred genres and this is why the number of genres is just a subjective way of looking at things.

You can have very few categories and you can have a lot of categories.

Today we bring you this very important blog that is not only going to be helpful for authors with published books but will also be helpful for new authors.

We generally talk about book cover design and how it is important and things to keep in mind for designing your book cover.

But we rarely talk about a book cover redesign. That is exactly what we are going to do in this blog and we will help you understand why it is so important.

Book cover redesign is only necessary when you absolutely have no other choice because a redesign means a lot of headaches and a lot of money.

But people still do it and there are a lot of reasons for it.  In fact, If you do it right then it can totally transform the performance of your book.

There are a lot of reasons why people choose book redesign, the reasons can vary a lot and the reasons can help you understand how to deal with the situation as an author.

So, let us look at all the situations where you need a book cover redesign.

Reasons Why You Need a Book Cover Redesign

Book Cover Does Not Go with The Genre

One of the primate reasons why authors decide to change the book cover even after everything has been finalized and the books are in the store is simply because of feedback.

We are talking about feedback from the readers and the bookstore owners and all well-wishers.  The feedback regarding book covers usually is that the cover art is not going well with the theme of the story.

This is what we call a genre mismatch. This is when your potential readers are simply not picking up the book because the book cover does not represent the actual theme of the book.

This can be something very bad for business and it can result in unnecessary losses and in the business world this is just like mislabelling a product.

When we talk about the book cover not going with the genre we mean that the colours and the imagery as well as the font do not represent what the book is about.

For example, if the book is about horror and the font used is Comic Sans then the readers will never understand the actual content of the book.

Book Cover Mistakes and Misalignment

One of the other reasons why a book cover redesign is important is simply because of printing mistakes. This is the worst-case scenario.

This is when all the books have to be recalled and then the cover removed and new covers made for them.

While this is not a mistake that professional publishers make but this is something that still happens from time to time.

The publisher is not to blame most of the time because sometimes it’s just because someone might have gotten offended because of the cover.

We must also consider that as a mistake because sometimes the cover might contain something that is not culturally appropriate.

Sometimes there can be a printing mistake in the form of wrong colour or wrong resolution.  While this is very rare but it can still happen even after trial prints.

Book Cover Does Not Match the Prequal

Sometimes the book cover might seem alright from every angle and might also be performing well in the market but there might be a big flaw in the design.

This is a scenario that might not occur to most authors but if you are an author who is planning on creating a series of novels then this is going to be a problem.

We are of course talking about the design of the book cover not having any similarities with the previous books of the same series.

If you pick up any popular book series like Harry Potter then you can see continuity.

You can see the same design elements and the same design staying the same for all the books of a particular series.

If you are planning on doing that and you do not have any similarities between the book covers of books of the same series then that can be a problem you might not want in the future. It will even look bad if you decide to release entire book collections and bundle gift packs in the future.

Bestselling Relaunch and Rerelease

There are a lot of reasons for book cover redesign and it is not always bad because sometimes the book cover can get redesigned for good reasons as well.

If you go to any book store and pick up any bestseller then you are probably going to get the bestseller edition that already has Bestseller written and ratings and reviews all over the book cover.

That usually happens when a book becomes very successful. So a book cover redesign usually happens when a book is not seeing success and when a book is highly successful.

If you are luckily among the ones with a bestseller then you need to redesign the cover and add different elements that indicate it is a bestseller.

And if you decide to do that you need to make sure to utilise the book as a marketing opportunity.

It should contain things like the bestseller tag along with how many weeks it has been a bestseller.

You must also include how many copies you have sold and along with that, you must also include all the awards that you have one as an author. You can even add little figures for the awards.

And finally, you should also add reviews from eminent critics.

Cover Trends Are Changing

Sometimes book covers need to be redesigned simply because the book cover and their cover design have become too old.

This only happens if your book has a good and stable performance throughout the years and you need to bring out new copies into the market.

That is when you decide to update the design of the book cover so that it represents the ideas and preferences of your new generation of readers.

You can find out such re-designs for classic novels and highly acclaimed novels.

You can do that too and it is not going to cost you a lot since you need to print new copies just as well.

However, if everything is alright with your book cover and if your book sales are going well then you do not need to do this for at least 10 years. You can then bring out a new cover design after 10 years.

For Digital Release

When we talk about book covers, we often only think about physical paperback books but we must also think about audiobooks and ebooks.

That is why whenever a book is launched as an ebook, you can expect the book cover to be redesigned. This is keeping in mind that the ebook cover should be like a thumbnail and not a rectangle like in the case of a book.

Sometimes the redesign is very minor and other times it can be a major redesign and the design is completely different from that of the paperback.

That is also the case with an audiobook release because book cover design and requirements can be different depending on where it is being released.

When it comes to a digital release, the book cover layout is usually in the form of a thumbnail that is easy to identify with the big text and simplicity.

Sales Slowing Down

Another reason for a book cover redesign is simply because you are not seeing the same level of sales that you expected.

This can be because of multiple reasons and one of the reasons might be that the book cover is just not attractive.

While this does not usually happen because a redesign is an additional headache but we can see that authors do this in rare cases if the sales have simply stopped.

This is just a form of experimentation to find out whether the new cover will improve the sales and surprisingly, it is effective sometimes.

While this used to be a lot more effective during the times of offline book sales a few years ago but this technique is simply ineffective for online book selling nowadays.

This is because when it comes to online books, people rarely look at the book cover design.

Things To Keep in Mind for Book Cover Redesign

Current Market Trends

If you can make sure that your book stands out from the competition in a good way then you should not have to change the book cover design.

But if your book stands out like a sore thumb among all the other books and looks bad then that means your book cover design is not up to the current standards and market trends.

That is why when you do a book cover redesign, you need to make sure that the book follows the current market trends.

We are talking about the style because that changes every few years.

Budget Friendly

The thing about book cover redesign is that you do not really need to change it unless there is something absolutely wrong with it.

For example, if the book cover has a mistake in it or if it offends someone then you definitely need to change it.

But if there are no mistakes in it and if it does not violate any cultural sensitivities then you do not really need to recall old copies and change the book cover.

You can change the book cover when the book needs reprinting because of high demand. That is usually how book cover designs are changed naturally.

This is because this process costs money and you should not throw away that kind of money just because you feel like that design is not your favourite.

Marketing Strategy

You must never forget your marketing strategy when you are doing a book cover redesign because the marketing strategy is very important.

The reason for this is that if the new book cover design does not align with your marketing strategy then you are losing on a good opportunity.

But if you are able to incorporate elements of your marketing strategy into the new design then this will present another amazing marketing opportunity for you.

And if you can directly utilise the book cover itself for marketing then that is going to be even better. We are talking about adding different positive reviews on the book cover.

You can even add the images of all the awards you have won as an author and you can also add the number of books sold.

These additional pieces of information will convince new readers to get your book.

Feedback From Readers

If you are ever planning on doing a book cover redesign then you should definitely attend to the feedback of readers.

Readers and fans only want the best for you and that is why they might have some good opinions and suggestions for you that will actually help your book.

You are writing for them and that is why it is very important that you listen to their opinions because while not all opinions are going to be practical or good but some of them can actually be very helpful and actually very good.

That is why you do not listen to everything but keep your eyes open for the good opinions that can actually benefit the book cover redesign.

If you are planning on publishing your book and you want to publish your book in paperback or in hardcover then this blog is for you.

This blog will help you understand everything you need to know about paper quality and the different types of paper stock and most importantly GSM.

This blog will not only be interesting but also very important for new authors who have never published before.

You might be an excellent author and you might have the best manuscript in the world but you also need to pay attention to the quality of the paper as well. It will determine your publishing costs.

This is very important from the perspective of any author but even more so a self-published author as they are themselves the investor and publisher.

Before we go into the different types of paper stock, we need to understand why paper stock is important in the publishing industry.

This Is Why Paper Quality Is Important for Publishing

Paper quality is very important for publishing simply because the better quality of paper you utilise will directly affect the quality of experience of your readers.

This is because when a reader is purchasing your book, they are making an investment. The only way to make them feel that they had a good experience is to have a good quality book with a paper that feels nice and high quality.

The other reason is simply if they buy a good quality book then it is going to last them longer which means they will get a return on their investment.

But there is also a trade-off, which means the higher quality of paper you are going to use will directly affect your royalties and profits because a higher quality paper is going to cost more.

So, you are going to have to balance the need for having high-quality paper and also making sure you make a profit.

So, let us understand the different types of paper based on different classifications starting with GSM.

What Is GSM In Book Printing?

While we can talk in simple terms and tell you all the different types of papers but it is important to understand what they are called technically.

We use special terminology called GSM. It’s simply Grams Per Square Metre. GSM helps us grade paper into different quality based on paper density.

This is one of the simplest ways to grade paper and will help you understand how much material is there in the paper per metre square.

This is also one of the things readers notice because if they simply pick up a book and notice that the paper is not very thick then that is an automatic indication of bad quality.

That means they are accustomed to thinking that high-quality paper is high GSM.

That is why we need to understand the different types of GSM for paper stock as we find out the most common GSM measurements.

Most Common GSM Grades for Books

 

80 GSM Common Opaque

This is the most common type of paper and you are going to get this for everything from novels to timetables and books that are very affordable.

Most paperbacks are made from this category of paper and it is simply so that the price can stay low.  You do not need heavy ink for this kind of paper.

This is because both sides of this paper can handle print and stay legible.

This is a non-coated paper which means you do not get any extra textures that you might find with higher GSM premium papers.

80 GSM Bookwove Cream/White

This is one of the most common types of GSM utilised for creating novels and you have probably picked up this kind of novel.

Let us help you understand the feeling of picking up a novel with 80 GSM Bookwove. Do you remember ever picking up any novel (probably the cheaper novels sold beside streets and train stations) and being surprised by the fact that they do not weigh a lot?

Then it is Bookwove.

These novels might look big but they do not have any weight to them. That is exactly what Bookwove paper is. It can improve the volume without increasing the weight.

100 GSM Common Opaque

This is the second most popular category of paper used for book printing and this is the 100 GSM normal non-coated paper.

This means while you are not getting any glossy or matt finish with this paper but it is much more premium compared to 80 GSM paper.

This is utilised for books that have text as well as illustrations. This is because 80 GSM is simply too thin for illustrations and that is why the bare minimum used by the industry is 100 GSM when it comes to illustrations.

100 GSM Recycled

If you are someone who cares about the environment then this is the perfect paper for you because this is a fairly new addition to the different types of papers commonly used during printing.

The thing about recycled paper is that it is not just about the feel-good aspect of the paper being morally good but there is also a real purpose of that paper.

Since it is recycled paper and it is completely up to luck on what kind of blend you get, you are never going to have a uniform paper mixture which means every page of your novel is going to be unique.

Sometimes the pages might be cream colour and sometimes they might be white or yellowish-white etc. Since there is a custom feel to these papers, they will truly make your book feel premium and one of a kind.

115 GSM Matt/Gloss Coated

We are now entering the territory of premium papers and while this is not the best kind of paper out there but this is certainly something that can be considered better than the previous choices.

This is a kind of coated paper which means you can get a glossy finish and/or a matt finish. And you can print any kind of pictures and illustrations and expect great results.

This is the best kind of paper if you do not want the book to weigh a lot but you also want it to be high quality. This paper is just in the middle.

130 GSM Matt/Gloss Coated

We are now entering the coffee table book and comic book territory of paper because this is one of the finest paper stocks you can ask for and this is simply just too good to only print text.

However, this is still not the best kind of paper if you simply want a photo book and you can also print text on this paper and have it look very good.

However, if you are planning on printing a novel and if the novel has no illustrations or only a few illustrations then you simply do not need the whole novel to be 130 GSM.

Having said that it is completely up to you what you want to do with your book but it does not make business sense to use this level of quality for printing text.

However, if you are writing a non-fiction book that has illustrations then this can be a very good choice of paper.

This is also one of the most common types of papers to be used for children’s books.

150 GSM Matt/Gloss Coated

We have now seriously entered the territory of photo books because this is a kind of quality that you hardly need with novels.

If you decide to print your novel with this quality of paper then it will become unnecessarily expensive for your readers.

However, if you want to print your college yearbook or your autobiography or your family memoir full of images then this is a good quality of paper to do so.

150 GSM is also excellent as a poster book paper as you will be able to print high-quality images and illustrations.

However, if you only have a few illustrations in your book and you want them to look nice then you can use a few pages of 150 GSM only for the part with the illustrations and then use regular 80 or 100 GSM paper on the other areas for regular text.

170 GSM Matt/Gloss Coated

We finally come to the most premium quality of GSM used for book publishing. There are even higher grades of paper but this is the highest-grade paper commonly used for books.

This grade of paper is quite expensive if you compare it to all the other options because it is simply the best and ensures the best kind of durability for your book no matter if it is a photo book or a novel.

However, you are never going to find a novel with this kind of paper because this is practically photo paper and can be excellent for illustrations and photos.

We hope this blog will help you understand everything you need to know about the different grades of printing paper.

Common Paper Stock FAQ

 

What GSM paper is best for books?

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend on your books because if you plan on publishing a novel and you want it to be affordable then you can very well utilise 80 GSM.

However, suggest you not to go below 100 GSM.

Similarly, if you want to print a coffee-table book with a lot of pictures and images and you need the prints to be high quality then you need to publish them in 150 GSM glossy coated paper.

It all depends on how you want to use the book and what kind of book you are publishing.

What type of paper is best for books?

Uncoated 100 GSM paper is very good for books and we are talking about a paper that is affordable and that also gives the book a good weight and feeling to touch.

However, this is a very subjective question because if you want the experience of your readers to be amazing then you should invest in more higher quality paper.

And if you want the experience of your readers to be amazing in the form of affordability then you can even get away with 80 GSM paper.

It all depends on your perspective of what kind of book you want for your readers.

Is 80 GSM paper good for books?

80GSM is more than perfect for books and the best part about it is that it is affordable and a majority of novels and books published in the world are done with 80 GSM paper.

It is just durable enough to be in a novel and it does not really need to be as durable as a school textbook where the student might need to read the page multiple times.

If handled with care then any 80 GSM book can last decades.

How do I choose a GSM paper?

GSM stands for Grams Per Metre Square and it is basically the density of the paper. If you need that paper for tissue manufacturing then anything below 50 GSM will be alright for you.

If you need to print newspapers then 30 to 50 GSM is usually the preferred choice. And if you want to publish books and magazines then 80 GSM to 100 GSM is usually used.

But then again if you want to publish something with a lot of images then we would recommend anything from 130 GSM to 170 GSM.

And finally, if you need business cards then 300 GSM is utilised most commonly. Now you need to decide what you want to use that paper for.

We are going to talk about why you should definitely visit the Kolkata Book Fair this year.

This is not just because we are also going to be there at the Orange Publishers book stall no. 59 hall no.2, near gate no. 3, but because there are other amazing reasons to be there.

The 47^th International Kolkata Book Fair – Boi Mela 2024 will take place from January 18^th to 31^st at the Boimela Prangan in Salt Lake.

So, let us find out why book lovers should definitely visit the Kolkata book fair this year.

Reasons Why You Should Visit Kolkata Book Fair 2024

All The Books You Can Imagine

Kolkata is a book lover’s paradise in general and already has one of the largest book markets in the world and this can give you an idea of how the world’s second largest book fair is going to be.

When you visit the Kolkata Book Fair you can expect thousands and thousands of some of the most diverse books from every genre nearly every major language in the world.

The book fair has more than 1000 stalls and now imagine every stall having nearly a thousand books.  That will give you an idea of the scale of the operations.

You can expect books from all the 22 official languages of India and even international languages. There are in fact international stalls dedicated to every country that wants to put out their books in the book fair.

You can find books from classic literature to books that will help you prepare for the upcoming UPSC exams. You can expect computer programming books and you can also expect a book about the history of computers.

You can use your wildest imagination and you will still fall short of comprehending the scale we are talking about.

The Kolkata Book Fair is so popular in fact that many international tourists schedule their tour dates so that they can come in time to visit the book fair.

It is a book lover’s paradise but it is also a paradise for everyone who wants to be an author because if you can manage the put your book in the book fair then you are already on your way to success.

Interact With the Actual Authors

The best thing about the Kolkata Book Fair is not the thousand stalls of books or the huge area of operations but something even more special.

The Kolkata Book Fair will not only host your favourite books but also your favourite authors and that includes an entire schedule full of talks and discussions and events.

But most importantly authors. Yes, you will get to meet your favourite authors in person right when you go to buy their books.

This is such a big deal that even authors schedule their book publishing according to the Bookfair timings so that they can launch the new books and sign the first few copies for their fans.

You can get to listen to them talk and take part in debates and ask all the questions in the world to your favourite authors.

When we say authors will not only mean national authors who are national icons but also international authors because this is an international event.

You get to have sneak peeks of their future endeavours so that you can always stay up to date on their work.

You can even look for apprentice work because some publishing companies also carry out hiring drives and some authors are also looking for assistance but that is a rare phenomenon.

That is why this book fair is so special because you can simply get your favourite books on Amazon or in a book store but you can only meet your favourite authors in the Kolkata Book Fair.

But you must make sure to match the schedule so that you get to be there when your favourite people talk.

Excellent Cultural Events

While the name is the International Kolkata Book Fair but it is not just about books because it is primarily about culture and that culture can be found in song and dance and events and discussions and literature.

That is why, when you visit the Kolkata Book Fair you will get to experience different kinds of cultural events that showcase not only the culture of Bengal but the culture of India.

You can expect art exhibitions but you can also expect something like live music performances. You can expect a showcasing of handicraft artists and their works.

You can get to take part in different cultural events and you can get to look at some of the best culture Kolkata and India has to offer.

Along with that, the Kolkata Book Fair will also make it possible for you to meet cultural icons and we are not just talking about authors.

You can meet nearly everyone from actors to singers and directors and people who are very impactful in the cultural space such as thinkers and intellectuals.

You can even get to engage in conversations with them during these cultural events and if you are really into these kinds of encounters then this is going to be perfect for you.

A Lot of Food

The International Kolkata Book Fair can easily be called the Kolkata Food Fair because of the endless number of options you get when it comes to food.

We were actually resisting the urge to add this to the previous point about cultural events because food is definitely a very important cultural event and marker.

This way this point is specifically there for food so as to understand the scale of options and operations when it comes to the Kolkata Book Fair.

There is an entirely separate section just for food when it comes to the Kolkata Book Fair where you can get almost everything that you can get in the city.

You can get Bengali classics and traditional dishes that are usually cooked in Bengali homes and served at special events such as marriage ceremonies.

However, you can also get fusion food such as Indo-Chinese food which is something very specific to the city. You can try out main courses as well as small portions of snacks when it comes to traditional dishes as well as Indo-Chinese food as well as all the other national and international dishes.

This is just the beginning because you can also find a lot of refreshment options in the form of juices and healthy snacks along with little appetizers that if eaten a lot can fill you up.

And it would be a crime not to mention the sweets. Nearly all the most popular and most renowned Bengali sweets establishments are there with all their offerings whether it is traditional sweets or a fusion between traditional and the modern.

And finally, we come to the favourite part of all the food which is going to be Mughlai food and specially biryani.

While the Kolkata Book Fair is primarily focused on books but if you do not read books and you just want to explore all the famous names in biryani in a single place then you should definitely visit Kolkata Boi Mela 2024.

Amazing Discounts and Offers

If you are looking for some of the most exclusive discounts that are never available online or in any other place then you should definitely visit the Kolkata book fair.

This is because a lot of authors choose to publish their books at the Kolkata Book Fair.

This means if you visit the Kolkata Book Fair then you will get to witness the launch of many books which might not be available on Amazon or in any bookstore at the time and will be exclusive to the Kolkata Book Fair.

You are going to witness authors launching their own books and it is not going to be a single event but it will be like hundreds of book launches all at once.

And you know what happens at book launches and special signing events, you get special discounts along with signed copies of the book.

That is exactly what you can expect at the Kolkata Book Fair because you are going to get some of the best discounts possible on books.

Along with that, you are also going to get bundle deals.

If you are really lucky then you can even win different contests and get free books but you must watch out for these contests and these special offers.

Supporting Regional Talents

If you love literature then you must also love supporting local talent and talented authors and that is exactly why you should visit the Kolkata Book Fair.

This is because the Kolkata Book Fair is actually the largest temporary launchpad for books in the country and the second largest in the world.

This means you are not only getting international bestsellers and renowned bestselling authors but you are also going to meet new authors who are publishing their books for the first time.

If you believe in supporting new talent then this is going to be the ideal place for you because every new talent out there in the literature world dreams of publishing their book in the Kolkata Book Fair.

That is why while you can get all your bestseller books online and you can obviously get them and bookstores but that will not help you support regional literature.

But the Kolkata Book Fair is a very rare and special opportunity for you to support regional literature by talking to these authors and supporting their work and buying their books.

Amazing Networking Opportunity

Let’s now come to the best thing about the International Kolkata Book Fair because if you are someone closely related to the publishing industry then this point is for you.

The Kolkata Book Fair is probably the best networking opportunity for authors and publishers and intellectuals alike.

This is because you cannot find a bigger conference of people related to books and publishing anywhere in the world other than the Frankfurt Book Fair.

This means if you live anywhere in Asia then this is probably going to be the biggest marketing and networking opportunity for you.

You will get to meet book publishers and authors from all over the world no matter the genre and no matter the language.

While this networking opportunity is good for publishers but it is most beneficial to authors and people who are planning on becoming authors.

You will get to talk to the publishers directly and talk about your publishing proposal and you can even take their contact numbers or even submit your manuscripts directly to them.

You can connect with fellow writers and authors and you can work on collaboration projects and it all depends on how much networking you want to do.

And let us now come to the most important reason why you should definitely visit the Kolkata Book Fair if you are a book lover.

The reason is simple. We are Orange Publishers and we are going to be there to welcome you to our stall.

We will be at bookstall no. 59, hall no.2, near gate no. 3. We will be there to greet you and we will be there to personally introduce you to all our amazing books.

We will interact with you and we will also have our authors interact with you. We are also going to be there if you want to publish your own book and we can even talk about that at our stall.

We are the fastest growing book publishing company in India and we also have one of the largest in-house operations where we do everything in-house right from the printing to the publishing as well as the marketing and creation of promotional material and much more.

We even take care of the book copyrights and we also publish everywhere on all platforms you desire and in all formats from paperbacks to eBooks and audiobooks and much more.

So, mark the dates on your calendar and we will meet at the International Kolkata Book Fair 2024.

Today we are going to talk about a very important element of books as we will get to know how to write a book preface.

We will understand what is a book preface. We will understand the preface structure as well as important book preface writing tips. We will understand the nuances of crafting a preface and why writing a preface is an important part of the introduction to a book.

We will dive deep into preface elements so that we might understand the exact purpose of a preface along with preface examples.

All in all, this is going to be a very interesting blog about the preface writing process and will definitely help you with valuable writing book instructions.

So, let us look at tips for a perfect preface as well as the importance of a preface, but before we do that let us understand what is a preface.

What Does a Preface Mean?

A preface is usually an introduction that is found at the beginning of the book and it is written by the author and can talk about a lot of things.

The preface is primarily there to attract the readers towards the book by giving a little bit more context about the book.

The preface deals with a few important things and if you understand these important things then you will be able to write the perfect preface without even doing more research about it.

There is no standardised rule for writing a preface and it can be anything you want to convey as the author. You can talk about your experience on why you are writing the book.

You can talk about the value that this book is going to add to the lives of the readers, you can talk about the importance of this book to the mainstream world and how it has the potential to change the world.

You can go into the details about what’s in the book and you can get into details about the story as well as the historical setting of the book and anything else you want to include. You can acknowledge the people and institutions that helped you with the book.

There is a lot that can be done in a preface. You can even choose to not write a preface but if you write it, make sure you are honest

Yes, A Preface Is Different From A Prologue and A Foreword

One of the most common misconceptions out there is that a preface is something similar to a prologue and a foreword but that is not the case.

Let us explain what is the prologue and a foreword and compare them to a preface so that you might understand better.

Foreword

A foreword is also situated at the beginning of the book but the primary difference between a foreword and a preface is that a preface has to be written by the author.

A forward cannot be written by an author and it can be written by an expert or a critic so as to show that the book is actually critically acclaimed and approved by experts. It is a tool for legitimising the book

It is usually there to help with the marketing of the book.

Prologue

The primary difference between a prologue and a preface is that when you see the prologue you need to understand that is a part of the main body of the text.

Whatever is written in the prologue is a part of the text. It is not a commentary or an introductory statement like a preface or foreword.

The prologue is a part of the body of text and it is just an introduction and usually talks about the background of the story or it is usually written from the perspective of a character.

This helps start things and it usually helps the readers understand the background before the actual body of the text begins and helps readers get a little more context before they delve into the text.

Important Tips to Write a Preface

Keep Things Short

One of the mistakes new authors make is that they try to make the preface as long and detailed as possible.

They try to include every variable event that made them to write the book and while that is an amazing idea but it does not work with a preface.

When you are putting a preface in your book that means you want it just big enough for the readers to get interested in the main body of text.

That is why you should make sure the preface is a balanced mix of all the important points that you want to mention without it being too long.

You do not need to record all your thoughts in the preface.

Think It Is a Hook

If you are an author then you already know what is a hook and even if you do not know what is a hook let us help you understand.

When you are writing the preface you need to think of making it interesting. You can put in facts about the book and you can let out a few secrets.

All you need to do is to write something that will get the attention of the readers but you must make sure everything you say is true.

You just need your preface to be interesting for people to read it and for them to be interested enough to continue with the book.

Reason For the Book

If you want to keep it simple and if you do not know what to write in your preface then you can go by the safest route.

All you need to do is to tell the readers why you wrote the book. You can simply narrate your story on why you wanted to be an author and why you wanted to write this book.

You can keep it as authentic and as simple as possible and you do not need any bells and whistles for people to like the preface.

You should not worry about the preface too much as well because a lot of readers simply skip the preface.

That is why if you truly want to have a preface and you do not know what to write then a simple story about your writing life as an author is enough.

Write About Your Process

And if you want to do something simple but creative then this is an even better idea for you to do. All you need to do is simply help your readers become an author.

You need to introduce yourself and tell them how you wrote the book. You can talk about how difficult it must have been for you to start the book and how easy it got at the end.

You can talk about your entire writing experience and give them an understanding of how to write a book.

You can talk about the mental state that is needed to write a novel and you can even give them tips on how to write a book efficiently.

This should be definitely in conjunction with the topic of the book but this will definitely be an interesting preface.

Key Points About The Preface

Formatting the preface is simple and easy and all you need to do is to keep in mind a few important things and you will have a good preface.

The most important thing you must keep in mind is that you should not have any room for creativity in the preface. This means no wacky fonts and no indention in the first paragraph.

It is also a safe thing just to keep the title as it is and keep it as ‘Preface’. If you feel confident enough then you can replace the genetic title with anything you like.

You must also make sure not to start the numbering of the book from the preface. If you do not want to put numbers then that is alright but if you really do want to put numbers for the preface then Roman numerals it is.

And if you want to know how to format that text then you can use any kind of regular formatting from any software.

Relevance Of Preface in Ebooks

One of the most common questions we get asked is whether a preface is relevant or even needed for ebooks and the answer is definitely yes.

All you need to do is to make sure you select the start page as the preface page. This is very important because if you do not do this then the software is simply going to skip the preface and start with the body of the text.

That is why you need to make sure that the body of the text starts with the preface and that it is selected.

In a regular paperback or hardcover copy of a book, you need to think about all the other important sections such as the title page and the copyright page and contents and acknowledgements and much more.

But these usually get skipped on ebooks along with the preface. That is why you need to pay special attention to make sure the preface is selected as the first page if you really want people to read it.

We hope this blog will help you understand what is a preface and why it is so important. You might still have a few questions regarding the length of the preface and for that, a few paragraphs is enough.

You can definitely go for one or two pages but that should be the maximum size of the preface. And if you are someone still worried about the perfect preface then we are here for you.

Just like we are here for you for every other publishing need because we are Orange Publishers and we are one of the most reputed legacy publishing companies in India.

Common Book Preface FAQs

What is the first part of a book preface?

While there is no standard practice out there and no set rules for what you should include in the preface but let us tell you what happens usually.

Authors usually introduce themselves and express their gratitude towards the readers and also talk about why they decided to write the book.

This is what happens 99% of the time and that might look like a lot but when you consider the number of books published then the remaining one per cent is when you get to see all the unique types of preface.

If you want to stick to tradition then you also can take the path of the 99% of authors and simply introduce yourself and talk about the reason for writing the book and even talk a little bit about the contents of the book.

How do you write a good preface for a book?

If you want to know how to write the perfect preface for your book then all you need to do is to be honest with your readers.

You need to keep it short and talk to them as directly as possible and tell them why you wrote the book.  You need to have a polite tone and express gratitude for everyone who helped you with the book and you need to help them understand what the book is about.

You need to make sure that the preface is so interesting that people actually pick up your book to read it later on. And finally, you do not need a lot of creativity in the preface and you need to make sure it is simple.

If you do all that then you have a good preface in your hands.

What comes under preface?

A well-written preface can actually be broken down into its basic elements and doing so will help you understand how to write the perfect preface.

It should basically be an introduction to the author as the author communicates directly to the readers and expresses gratitude towards everyone who has helped the author write the book.

A good preference should also contain the reason why the author set out to write the book in the first place and on the topic of the book the preface should also contain bits and pieces of the book.

It is very important that you do not give out spoilers when it comes to the preface but you also make sure that it has a lot of hooks.

While fiction and non-fiction book preface might be different to an extent but in order to understand that difference you need to do some actual research and read a few popular fiction and nonfiction books with prefaces.

What comes after preface?

There is no definite answer to this because the structure of any book may vary and that is why some books may have the preface at the end and after that, the primary body of the text will start.

In other books, you are going to find the table of contents after the preface and there is nothing wrong with it too. In other books that need illustrations, you might find maps and illustrations after the preface.

And other books might even have a brief introduction before the primary body of text. It all depends on how you want to organise your book.

But when it comes to numbering the book, you should not use Arabic numerals for the preface.

Since we are only including unique publishing companies that have a profound impact in Bangalore, the fifth name on our list is truly unique.

Penguin Books

This list would be incomplete without having Penguin Books since this is a list of the top 10 book publishers in Bangalore and by top 10, we mean the top 10 influential book publishers.

Penguin Books is not only one of the most popular publishers in Bangalore but it is one of the most popular publishers in the world. They mostly publish in English.

So, you might ask why are they at number eight and the reason for that is simple. They are a traditional publishing company which means you are not going to get the convenience and modernity of self-publishing with this publishing company.

It will take months for you to get a response from them and even if you get a response from them, your book will most likely be rejected unless you are someone with connections or a lot of fame.

That is why if you plan on publishing your book then you should not have high hopes for Penguin Books because they might not be the most convenient option for you.

That is why if you want to put your trust in a new self-publishing company then you can very well choose them and give them a chance. They mostly publish in English and Hindi.

We are talking about crime novels. Crime novels are one of the most popular types of novels but crime novels can also be extremely difficult for someone who has never done it before.

There is a reason why crime novel writing mistakes are very common but it is also very easy to understand crime fiction mistakes to avoid.

There are so many things that can go wrong when you are writing crime novels and you can be wrong about criminal psychology or you can be wrong about crimes in description and so much more.

That is why instead of just talking about crime novel writing tips, we will be talking about novel writing mistakes to avoid as well such as plot inconsistencies or things like dialogue in crime novels etc.

We will talk about things like character development errors and how you should deal with writing suspenseful scenes so that you know exactly how building tension works.

So let us look at important tips about crime fiction and a few mistakes to avoid and we assure this blog will help you with your research for crime novels.

Let us start the blog from the very basics by understanding what are crime novels.

What Are Crime Novels?

Crime novels are one of the most popular genres of novels and a crime novel is a story that revolves around a crime as the central theme.

Crime novels can be detective novels about crime or even spy novels. Crime novels can be thrillers and they can even be psychological thrillers.

The primary thing to understand about crime novels is that there should be a crime in the plot and there can be resolution of the crime and a reveal.

Crime novels can follow a very common template that is very popular or it can even follow a very unique template that has never been seen before.

They are one of the most popular types of novels but there is so much that can go wrong while writing a crime novel.

So, let us look at a few tips to keep in mind and a few mistakes to avoid.

Tips To Keep in Mind While Writing Crime Novels

Always Do Research

Crime novels are one of the most technical types of novels because it is all about the details and not the emotion.

If you get your details wrong in the crime novel then nobody will simply read your novel because details are everything when it comes to crime novels.

When you are writing crime novels you must have a good understanding of forensics and how investigations work and you must have a deep understanding of whatever you put in the novel.

This means you should also understand how crime takes place and in order to do so the only thing you can do is research and read a lot of other novels but even more importantly read training manuals.

If you get hold of training videos and training manuals for police and detectives and even realistic documentaries then that will help you with your research.

If you want to do the best kind of research then you need to have contacts in law enforcement and detective agencies. This will provide you with the best kind of experience to write crime novels.

And if you are someone who already has a background in the law then it is even better.

Always The Imperfect Hero

If you want to write a crime novel and if you want to follow the trusted trends of time that are loved throughout the world then you should never write a black-and-white novel.

By black and white we mean that you should not write a novel where it is easy to identify the hero or the villain and side with the hero.

That is not how things work in real life because the hero has a little bit of a villain and the villain has their reasons to be a villain.

That is why you should always make sure that this is balanced so that you actually give room to your readers to think about it.

If you keep everything black and white then it will not stay a crime novel because everything will be predictable but if you keep the characters in the grey then it is going to improve the complexity by a lot.

A Nuanced Criminal or Villain

If you want to take your novel to the next level then all you need to do is to create a villain that is complex and not a simple criminal who is a bad person for the sake of being a bad person.

You can even do a better thing and make the circumstances the criminal which will make the plot even more complex.

You can show their human part and you can even show the part that makes them truly evil. For example, you can take any popular crime TV series and you are going to find that the criminals are a victim of circumstances.

This is because it is actually what happens in real life because no one is truly evil, they just find themselves in certain circumstances.

Keep Crime at The Forefront

If you are writing a crime novel then you should remember you are writing that because a lot of new authors make the mistake of keeping the crime as a side story.

They do not do it intentionally but they often start the story with different viewpoints and different events that are not directly related to the crime.

But you should always start with the crime and how the crime unfolds. You can take inspiration from the legendary crime novels of Sherlock Holmes because they always start with the crime or with a hint of the crime.

While you are free to do whatever you want but this is something tried and tested in the of crime writing.

Deal In Chapters and Locations

If you are writing for a printed publication and not a TV series then you should make sure that you have a solid location because it is just going to help the reader with the situation.

Having multiple dynamic locations is unnecessary and it is not going to help you with your story but it will make things more confusing.

That is why you should treat the location as a character and that will give you much more dynamic to work on because the setting is going to be essential for all the other events.

The complexity should not be in the locations but rather in the story.

Always Maintain the Tension

If you want to find out the fundamentals of a crime novel then one of the most important fundamentals is suspense because without suspense there is no crime novel.

That is why when you are writing a crime novel you should never give out the suspense before the climax because if you do that the readers will lose interest in the story completely.

That is why you should only reveal the criminal at the very end but leave a little bit of space for explanation.

That is why you are the filter and you should understand how much to let out and how much secret to maintain so that the interest of the readers is maintained.

Write Something You Enjoy and Know

You should not write something for the sake of writing in novel but you should actually enjoy it.  When you are writing a crime novel you are in a very special position of knowing the entire story.

That is why you should only write on something that you know completely about and this is similar to the point about research.

If you do not have interest in a certain kind of topic but if that topic is very popular then you should not write about it just because it is trending.

This is because if you do not have an interest in the topic then you are more likely to make mistakes.

Mistakes can be forgiving in other kinds of novels but not in a crime novel because then you are more prone to loopholes.

Read, Read and Read

Inspiration is something truly magical and the best way for you to get inspiration is to read the very best and that is why we would always tell you to read some of the greatest crime novels in the world.

If you read classic crime novels then you are not only going to get the most practical tips about writing but you will also get to know so much about the crime world so that you will be better informed to write.

Every novel out there is inspired by something else and some authors even mention that and that is why there is no shame in doing so.

You can even put a dedication in your novel stating how some novels inspired you to do so and maybe your novel will inspire someone else.

Serious Mistakes to Avoid While Writing Crime Novels

Never Skip on Research

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to skip on research for your novel because if you skip on research then you stand the chance of creating loopholes.

Now there are genres out there where loopholes are tolerable because they do not form the structure of the plot.

But loopholes in crime novels can completely destroy the plot and the entire basis of the novel and people will simply not read your novel if it has any loopholes.

That is why the best way to avoid that is to be perfect with your storytelling and perfect with your technicalities.

We have already mentioned how you can do your research but we would also like to tell you that when you are doing research you can make a simple mistake.

You can only think that research is all about books and literature and all about reading manuals but that is not the thing.

Research is also going out into the world and listening to people and talking to police and detectives and simply exploring the world of crime.

It is going into slums and talking to people and understanding the mentality of the people where a lot of crime takes place.

Never Reject Part Two

Another thing you must keep in mind when you are writing a crime novel is that this is a particular genre that works extremely well with sequels.

You can pick up some of the most popular crime novels in the world and you are going to find that they have sequels. That is why you should always be open to the idea of opening up your novel to a second part.

It will not only make sense economically but it will make sense from the point of view of the story and the readers because if they really like something they would want another part.

But the mistake beginner authors make is that they do not leave any space for sequels because they write the first part and they think it is going to be the only part.

They might probably change their mind after their novel becomes successful but they simply do not have any space for sequels after that.

That is why you should always think about the future and leave some space for sequels.

Shortcuts With Editing

Crime novels are very technical which means there are more chances you are going to make a mistake in crime novels than any other kind of novel.

Those mistakes are only going to get noticed in the editing stage of the process. That is why in order to make sure you have the most perfect novel; you should never skip multiple rounds of editing.

If you can afford the time then you should also do proofreading. This is going to be the step after the editing and just before the publishing because if you have the time for it then you should never skip this step, especially for a crime novel.

If you are not confident with the proofreading then you can even hire an outside it to do it for you and supervise it closely.

Predictable Story

The biggest enemy of crime novels is going to be a predictable story because the entire point of a crime novel is for people to keep guessing.

If people cannot guess the ending or the plot then you are successful at writing the novel. But if people are able to guess the story exactly then you should rethink the novel.

This is actually a very simple metric for measuring whether you have a successful crime novel or not. You should have your close friends and your loved ones or even your colleagues read it.

You should give them a section of the novel or maybe the first few chapters. If they are not able to guess the ending then you are successful.

If they can tell you exactly what the ending is going to be then you should revaluate your novel.

Blind Copy

One of the problems with this genre is that people unintentionally replicate classic crime novels after they have read them.

It is one thing to draw inspiration from another novel but people make the mistake of completely copying the novel unintentionally because of how inspired they get from reading other crime novels.

They use stereotypical settings and they use a similar character structure and plot structure.  Now if you have picked up something like that from an obscure novel then you might have a better chance of getting away with it.

But if you have picked it up from someplace familiar like Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle then people will be able to spot it easily.

That is why you should keep the story as original as possible and if you can do that while drawing inspiration from the greatest novels then there is no harm in it.

Instead, you can draw inspiration from real crime in the world and real plots and combine them and that is one way to stay original.

Apart from all that, you must also keep in mind that the pacing of the novel should be perfect and you should also make sure you spend some time on subplots.

We hope this blog has been helpful for you to understand how to write crime novels and how to not write crime novels because both are important.

It is completely up to you how many words you want to write and how many pages you want it to be but let us give you an average estimate of page count for crime novels.

If you want to write a short novel then it can be as low as 200 pages and there are good examples of those kinds of crime novels.

If you want your novel to be medium sized then you are looking at somewhere around 300 pages.

It all depends on what you want to do.

There are a lot of unsung professionals in the world who are very impactful in our day-to-day lives but these professionals are not recognised. Their benefits and not understood.

If we have to talk about such a category of professionals then ghostwriters will have to top the list because ghostwriters are needed everywhere and there are multiple benefits to hiring a ghostwriter.

Today we are going to talk about ghostbloggers, they are a special kind of ghostwriter who are extremely important in the online content space with all the same advantages of hiring ghostwriters being applicable to them.

We will talk about all the reasons why you should hire a ghostblogger and their benefits.

The reason for this is simple and it is because professional writers are needed everywhere and especially if you have an online brand.

The reason why you need ghostwriters for your online brand is because you might need a lot of original content but you also need time savings and you need professionals with research skills.

These professionals should understand flexibility and be apt in meeting deadlines. You must also need professionals that have industry knowledge and you must also make sure that these professionals are affordable and meet your expectations of cost-efficiency.

Ghostbloggers are these professionals because they will help you with increased productivity in content delivery and will help you with improved communication with your clients.

So, let us look at some of the undeniable benefits of hiring a ghostblogger.

Benefits Of Hiring a Ghostblogger

Ghostbloggers Save a Lot of Time

One of the most important reasons why people hire ghostbloggers is simply because they are going to save you a lot of time. Time is money in every business.

Let’s say for example you own an online brand and you need brand recognition and in order to do that you need a lot of content in the form of blogs.

You can go two ways and you can get someone from the company to leave their work and write blogs for you but this is not a solution because you are going to have a daily blog requirement.

That means that employee will not be able to do their actual work leading to ineffciencies in the company.

In order to solve that, you can hire someone permanently in the company but that would mean a lot of capital expenditure because you have to pay that person the same as a regular employee.

So, you need an expert because you have a lot of content requirements and you simply cannot do with a regular employee but you might not have that requirement every day so it also does not make sense to hire a ghostwriter permanently.

The only solution that you have in your hands is a ghostblogger from a reputable ghostwriting agency. They will fulfil your content needs whenever you need them. They will be out of your way when you do not need them.

When you hire the services of a ghostwriting agency you can be sure your content needs will be met because a ghostwriting agency has multiple ghostbloggers and you do not need to worry about deadlines.

Ghostbloggers Will Only Provide Quality Content

Ghostbloggers are professional writers and that means you can expect only the finest levels of content from them. You will never get amateur quality work with ghostbloggers and any kind of ghostwriter.

This means your website content and especially your blogs are going to be the best in the industry and certainly better than your competitors that hire amateurs to do the job.

The best thing about this is that the only other way to get this level of quality is to do guest posting and invite popular guest bloggers to your website. That is extremely difficult to do and then again you cannot take the credit for the content they provide.

But with ghostbloggers you can take all the credit and that is the best thing about hiring ghostwriters.

That is why you can get authentic content of the best quality and claim it as your own content written by your own team of bloggers.

Ghostbloggers Will Help You with Brand Awareness and Topical Authority

While we often write about the differences between E-Commerce businesses and physical businesses but they are also similar in a lot of ways.

Your online business will only be successful when your online brand is recognised and you have brand awareness.

You can do that by achieving topical authority in your industry. In order to understand that let us look at it with the help of an example.

Let’s say for example that you manufacture different kinds of candies and sweet products for children. The only way by which your brand is going to be recognised among the best in the candy industry is through topical authority.

Topical authority is when you have content for every kind of possible topic that can be generated in your industry. This means if someone searches for something like the recipe for marshmallow and if you have a blog with the same title then people are going to visit your website to know more about it.

This means your brand is going to be an authority on the topic of candies and everything to do with candies online because the name of your brand will pop up whenever someone asks for anything remotely similar to candy.

In order to do that you need to have a lot of content and ghostbloggers will help you with that content. You can expect a single ghostblogger to write at least 3000 words for you every day.

And if you hire the services of a ghostwriting agency then you can ask for as much content as you need every day.

You can provide them with the topics and stay assured that they write on everything related to candy and that is how you will achieve brand awareness and topical authority. Topical authority is something fundamental to SEO and we will talk more about it in our point about SEO.

Ghostbloggers Will Help You with SEO

SEO is the online equivalent of business goodwill and market authority. Search Engine Optimization(SEO) is fundamental to any online business success.

This is because if you want to achieve any degree of success online then you need to have search engines on your side.

You need search engines to display your website as the such result if a potential customer searches for something similar to your products or brand. This is the finest example of organic customer outreach online.

Search engines are only going to show your blogs or websites as the result if you have relevant content. Your websites and your content will only get a good rank if the content is worthwhile and if the content has quality according to search engines.

Search engines should also be able to identify your content in order for it to be shown as a search result. One of the ways to do it is with the help of proper keyword usage.

Ghostbloggers will not only write quality content for you and help you meet content deadlines but they will also make sure that your content has relevant keywords.

This is extremely important because keywords allow search engine crawlers to identify if a blog or any piece of content is relevant.

Using keywords is an art as well as a science and there are a lot of parameters to make sure that keyword usage is as natural as possible.

Amateurs will not understand that and they will simply dump keywords unnaturally and search engine algorithms can find that out.

That is why you need professionals in the form of ghostbloggers who will effectively and effortlessly utilise keywords in the right places that will help you with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

How Do You Get the Perfect Ghostblogger?

Understand Your Needs

The first step to finding the perfect ghostwriter is to actually understand your content needs yourself.  You need to understand your content deficiencies.

For example, if you have a coffee brand and you do not have any blogs related to different types of coffee or different roasting techniques then that means you have a content deficiency.

In order to find out your content deficiency you need to look at your competitors and see the kind of blogs that they have and if you do not have anything remotely similar then that means you need to hire a ghostblogger.
