Today we are going to talk about something that is one of the most important questions any writer can ask and the answer to that is also not very simple.

This is because today we are going to talk about the ins and outs and the legalities of writing about someone.

We are going to ask the question of whether it is alright to write about someone without their permission. Can you do it without getting into legal trouble?

The answer to this is complicated.

The answer to this simple question is going to help a lot of writers write about their idols and the people they look up to and that is why is important to answer this question.

The answer to this might be complicated but if you think about it from a single standpoint then the answer looks very simple and you can very easily determine whether you can write about someone without getting in trouble.

We are just about to do that so that you might understand how laws work and how you can stay out of trouble and also write a bestseller about someone you love and respect.

Let’s first understand when and what you can’t write about someone when you are considering writing an entire book about them.

This Is When and How You Can’t Write a Book About Someone

Sensitive Information

One of the cases where you should never write a book about someone is when you plan on disclosing sensitive information about that person.

This means if you plan on writing a book and you want to reveal their address or even their contact information or their banking information then that is completely illegal.

If you do this then you are not only risking defamation laws but you are also risking so many other laws under the IPC.

We are especially looking at all these Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and some of them are specifically for the protection of women.

– Section 354D – Stalking

– Section 66E of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 – Violation of Privacy

– Section 72 of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 – Breach of Confidentiality and Privacy

– Section 499 and 500 – Defamation

– Section 509 – Word, Gesture or Act Intended to Insult the Modesty of a Woman

Misinformation and Misleading Content

Misinformation and misleading content are different from defamation. You can still stand a fighting chance in the courts when it comes to defamation.

This is because defamation does not mean you can’t write about someone. There are thousands of examples of authors writing negatively about someone and you can still get away with it because there are laws that protect criticism.

However, this point is different because if you do this and spread misinformation and misleading reckless content about someone with the intention of harm then you cannot write about that.

If you do write about that then you stand the chance of getting into deep legal trouble and that is especially the case if you decide to write about someone who has the means to pursue the authorities.

In fact, you should not do it because no court of law in India or outside is going to support this simply because you are trying to spread misinformation.

Defamation

One of the instances where you simply cannot write about someone just comes down to your intention because if your intention is the defamation of their character then you cannot write about someone.

This simply means if your actual intention is to harm the reputation of someone and to expose something about someone then you might get into legal trouble for writing about them.

We are simply talking about books that are about character assassination and their entire intention is to hurt the reputation of someone.

However, should that stop you? If this was the case then we would not even have some of the finest books in the history of mankind.

So, you can of course write about someone and expose them if they are a bad person but your book must have a lot of substance and information and you must also be ready for defamation charges from their legal team.

We are specifically looking at two IPC sections.

– Section 499

This is a section that defines what is defamation and the definition is quite simple and it is just something that can ruin the reputation of a person.

– Section 500

This section applies to the punishment that can be given to any individual for charges of defamation which includes a fine or jail time or even both.

Out of all these scenarios, the point about defamation might be the most confusing. So let us talk more about defamation so that you might understand what it actually means.

What Is Considered Defamation?

It is considered a defamation of character based on your intention because if your intention is purely to hurt the reputation of that person then that opens the grounds for defamation, without public interest considerations.

However, if you plan on referencing a person in your novel and that is actually a real person then you do not need to worry about it especially if there is nothing negative about that person.

For example, if you plan on writing your autobiography and you plan on talking about your brother in that autobiography then that will not be considered as defamation in a court of law.

Here are a few instances when it is not defamation and a defamation case will not stick.

If It Is a Historical Figure

If you write honestly about someone as a biography and that person happens to be a historical figure then it will not be considered as defamation.

However, there might still be grounds for defamation or hurting the religious sentiments of someone if that person is a religious figure so you should keep that in mind.

It Is All Honest Statements

If you plan to write about someone and that someone happens to be a celebrity and the information that you supplied in the book is also real and readily available then you do not stand the chance of risking defamation.

However, you must always keep in mind that there is still the possibility of defamation but if your intention is not malicious then you do not need to worry about anything.

If it is a Private Conversation

You stand the chance of risking defamation if you decide to include a lot of privileged and private communication such as text messages in your book.

This is only the case if that conversation is not in the public interest because if that conversation relates to something wrong in society and some kind of crime or corruption and you are trying to expose it then you are going to be safe in the courts.

However, if you only reveal private conversations just for any other reason other than public interest then you stand the chance of defamation.

There are a lot of other instances out there and you should only consult a qualified legal professional before you go on to write a book that stands the risk of defamation.

So, how do you make sure that you can write about someone and also keep it legal and avoid things like defamation laws and other laws?

Let’s find out.

This Is How You Can Write About Someone Legally

Ask For Permission

The best thing you can do to write about someone and keep everything legal and also prevent defamation is simply to ask their permission.

You just have to approach them or their team and present them with the idea that you want to write a book about them. You can also specify everything that the book is going to contain.

If you are confident about your book then you can even send them the completed manuscript and then ask for their permission in writing.

If they agree to it then you are completely immune to any prosecution and it will be a completely legal way of doing it.

Avoid Using Real Names

If you are an author and you plan on writing a novel then your novel might contain different characters and some of these characters might be based on real people or inspired by real people.

The only proper way to do it legally and also the most popular way of avoiding any legal trouble is to simply change the names of those people as well as other identifiers about them.

This is one of the best ways to avoid any prosecution or legal troubles or even defamation and it is to avoid using the real names and identities of people by giving them fake names.

If you want to be absolutely sure that your work is legally protected then you should totally avoid any resemblances to the real names of the actual persons.

For example, if you want to create a character inspired by someone named John Brown and you decide to change the name to Jim Baker, then there is a resemblance of the first characters and name initials.

However, if you want to be absolutely safe from legal trouble then you can change the name from John Brown to Mark Spears in your book, thus guaranteeing no resemblance whatsoever, not even of initials.

Use Public Domain Information

If you want to write a book about someone and you do not have their permission then one of the ways in which you can avoid trouble is to simply use public information in the book.

This means if you want to write a book about a public figure and if you only use information that is already out there in the public then they can’t accuse you of defamation.

You can also quote them with attribution on things they said and you can also use transcripts from their interviews in order to be absolutely safe from legal trouble.

Apart from that, you must make sure that this information is positive and it will guarantee your safety when it comes to your books.

This information can be taken from government sources and this information can also be taken from media with the correct attributions.

If there is information out there that is public knowledge then it reduces the risk of you getting a case of defamation against you.

Hire A Lawyer or Legal Team

If you do not want to take any chances when it comes to your book about someone then the best kind of approach would simply be to hire a lawyer or a legal team.

You should make them go through the manuscript so that they can help you make the necessary changes so that you are legally safe.

Things can get even more complicated when book translations are involved and that is when you will truly appreciate the advice of your legal team.

However, you must only hire the services of a lawyer who specialises in things like Right To Publicity laws as well as defamation laws and libel laws.

But you must also understand that getting yourself a lawyer is not a complete guarantee of being immune to any kind of defamation case.

This is because the lawyer can only predict things for you but they can’t stop someone from filing a case of defamation against you.

They can of course fight it for you.

Welcome to this amazing and informative blog where we bring out all the factors are distinguishing between foreword, preface & introduction.

We will help you understand the exact difference between preface vs foreword vs introduction so that the next time someone asks you about them, you can correct them with the right information.

This is also something you must know if you are ever planning on becoming an author because being an author is not just about writing skills and imagination, it is also about learning the basic technical details of books.

So, before you ask yourself the question of how to write a foreword or even the techniques for writing a preface, let us understand the difference between foreword, preface and introduction.

Let’s start with the definitions so that we can understand the very basics of what these mean.

Here Are the Definitions for the Foreword, Preface and Introduction

Foreword

A foreword is something completely different from a preface or an introduction because a preface and an introduction are written by the author. It can usually be found on both fiction and non-fiction books.

However, a foreword is not written by the author and this is not a question of whether it is traditionally written or not because this is something that the author never writes.

If an author decides to write it then it does not remain a foreword.

It is really written by someone who is very close to the author and the primary reason for a foreword is credibility because it is just like someone reputable endorsing a product.

The foreword usually contains some kind of context about the book or it can even contain some context about the author or the writing process of the book.

That is why, whenever you find a foreword at the beginning of the book, it is not only written by someone who is very close to the author but usually written by someone who is very reputable when it comes to that particular industry.

For example, if you are in the 1930s and decide to write a book on physics, the ideal person to write your foreword would be Albert Einstein.

It will provide credibility and endorsement to your physics book and it will also provide credibility to you as the author for being close to such a legend.

Preface

Before we tell you what is a preface, we would like to tell you that it is something written by the author and if your book needs to have a foreword then the preface comes after it and before the introduction.

Frankly, your book does not need a preface and if you do not want to include it in the book then you are not going to do something catastrophic.

This is because the preface is basically an introduction to why you wrote the book in the first place. It is not the introduction which is about the contents of the book but the preface is about why you wrote the book.

The preface can contain your motivation behind the book and it can also be a place where you mention all the techniques that you utilised for doing the research of the book.

You can think of it as an additional section where you can include different kinds of information regarding yourself as an author or also about the book.

It is actually rare to find a preface these days as the introduction gets the job done of introducing the author as well as the book and the socio-political and cultural or even historical background behind the book.

The primary difference between the preface and the introduction is just that the preface is more about everything related to the book and its creation and it can talk about the motivation of the author as well as other contexts for the book.

Readers tend to skip it.

Introduction

Let us finally come to the introduction of the book and it is sometimes confused with the preface simply because both serve as a kind of introduction to the book and both are written by the author.

However, the primary difference between the preface and the introduction is that the introduction is more focused towards the contents of the book.

This means the introduction sets up the stage for the reader to get into the book and is more of a guide so that the reader can understand the first chapter.

It is just like someone getting ready to run a race as they do a backhand motion just to get the momentum and that is the same thing with the introduction.

The introduction not only helps the reader understand the first chapter but it is more of an overview about the book itself rather than the creation of the book.

This means the introduction can talk about what is in the book and can also give an idea to the reader of what they are about to find in the book.

You can think of it like a hook but much more elaborate and much more personalized without any marketing lingo because it is written by the author.

This Is How You Write a Foreword, Preface and Introduction

Writing A Foreword

The thing you have to understand about writing a foreword is that it is not written by the author and when we say writing a foreword, we mean it has to be written by someone who is requested by the author to write it.

So, if you are someone very influential and or very close to the author and they have requested you to write it then this is for you.

The first part of the foreword should definitely be an introduction that will be there just so that you can introduce yourself because without that there is no use of a foreword.

If you want to have an effective foreword that actually helps your friend the author then you need to show your credibility first. It does it does not really have to be very long and it can be just a few lines or something less than a usual paragraph.

You can then move on to what you think about the book and the author and why everyone should read it and this is the section that offers credibility to the author.

You can write why you like the author and why you like the book and you can also talk in detail about your relationship with the author and why you think they are a good person or a qualified person for the topic of the book they have written.

You can then include a part on why you read the book and end with it and also tell the readers why they should as well.

It is also important to write down your name after the foreword as it is usually done like that traditionally.

Writing A Preface

Now, if you want to write a preface, you need to be the author and only write it if you really want to because you can skip the preface and go straight into the introduction because writing a preface is rare.

But if you really want to write it then you must understand one thing and it is that the preface is not the introduction and it is not really about the contents of the book.

Your preface should be about the process of writing that book.

That is why, when it comes to the preface, you should include the writing process and if your book has a lot of data then you should also include the research process.

You should talk about any kind of challenges that you might have faced during the writing of the book and you must also talk about things that motivated you to write the book.

The thing you must understand about the preface is that people usually ignore it just because it is usually boring. However, if you want to make it interesting then you can put in as many facts as you want and also try and keep it small.

You must also utilise this opportunity to showcase your passion for your book and if you have an emotional preface then people are more likely to read it.

So, if you decide to write a preface you just need to be passionate about it and do not think of any format and just write it as a piece of trivia for your readers.

Writing An Introduction

Sometimes people confuse the introduction with the preface but they are actually quite different if you think about it.

So, if you plan on writing the introduction of the book then you must understand that the introduction should definitely contain a few things.

The introduction should be a gateway to the book and it should help the readers understand all the context behind the book which can be in the form of historical context or cultural context or even about the different themes in the book.

The introduction should be such that anyone who reads understands what the book is about. It is also important to establish your author’s voice or writer’s voice in the introduction.

Along with that, you can also help the readers understand how the book is going to progress but it is completely up to you how much you want to divulge.

And you must make sure the introduction is like a sample to the actual book.

It is completely up for debate on how many spoilers you want to have in the introduction but it all depends on the author.

We hope you now understand the exact differences between a foreword as well as a preface and an introduction.

And if you have already written your book and want to publish it with the help of a legacy publishing company then we are here for you.

Common Foreword FAQs

What is the purpose of a foreword?

If we have to explain the purpose of a foreword in a single word then it has to be credibility. It is something that is not written by the author because it is written by someone who is close to the author and it can also be someone who is quite important or recognisable or even credible.

The foreword is simply used as an endorsement for the book that allows the readers to validate the credibility of the book based on who is endorsing the book.

It usually talks about the relationship between that credible person in the foreword and the author and it talks about why they want people to read the book.

Are you supposed to read the foreword?

If you really want to read it then you can because it will provide you extra context for the book from a very credible and reputed source.

While if you do not want to read it then you are not really going to miss anything about the book but reading the foreword is just like watching the making of a movie, if you do not see it then you are not going to miss the movie but people usually see it.

Reading the foreword is also like reading the reaction from someone who is not only very credible but also a reputable voice on that particular topic.

And it would not hurt to listen to what that kind of a voice has to say so if you really want to skip it then you definitely can but we would suggest you not to.

What is the difference between a foreword and a prologue?

The primary difference between the two is that the foreword is not written by the author and the prologue is definitely written by the author.

Keeping that aside, a foreword is usually a different perspective from someone who is very credible and who speaks about their relationship with the author and why readers should read the book.

You can think of the prologue as being something like an introduction that helps the readers get acquainted with the narrative of the book.

The foreword can speak about what the book is about from the point of view of someone who is not the author and also their observation about the author.

The prologue will only talk about the book and its different events and an introduction to them.

Who writes a foreword?

The foreword can be written by someone who is very close to the author and it can also be someone who is a prominent figure when it comes to the subject of the book.

The foreword can be written by prominent experts on the topic of the book; however, you can even find forewords written by people who are close to the author like family members or even friends.

That is usually the case for something like an autobiography or a non-technical book.

We can even see forewords written by co-authors and other people who have contributed to the book as well.

So, the primary thing to understand here is that everyone can write the foreword except the author.

Can you have 2 forwards in a book?

While it is not something that you see commonly or usually, nothing is stopping you from doing that and there are a few rare instances where we actually see more than one foreword.

This is usually the case when it comes to book translations and it might also be the case if we are speaking of special editions or reprints.

The book can have multiple forewords if it is written by a lot of people with a lot of contributors.

However, you can have multiple forewords in your book even if you are the only author and the reason for that is simple, you are the author and you can do whatever you want with your book.

Today we have a very interesting blog for you because we are going to talk about how to make an audiobook.

When we say how to make it, we mean how to do every preparation regarding the audiobook and how to record an audiobook and much more.

This blog or rather audiobook recording guide as well as audiobook creation guide will help you understand the nuances of audiobooks.

We will help you understand different audio recording techniques as well as narration tips that are instrumental to audiobook production.

We will also touch lightly upon recording equipment as well as things like voiceover skills and much more.

So, in order to understand audiobook recording as well as audiobook publishing, we need to understand what is an audiobook.

This is instrumental before we move want to audiobook narration as well as sound editing software and other important things like audiobook formatting.

So, let us understand what is an audiobook.

What Is Exactly an Audiobook?

When we talk about audiobooks it is very simple to understand and in fact, this explanation can be over in a single sentence.

An audiobook is a voice recording of a book and it is mostly digital but it can also be analogue in the form of records and cassettes. However, 99% of all audiobooks in the world currently are digital versions of books.

It is exactly like a normal book but instead of reading that book, you listen to the book. This means it is a regular book that is consumed through voice because someone is narrating it to you.

When we talk about audiobooks, they generally consist of audio files but they can also contain eBook files but that is rare. Sometimes eBook files are also added to the audio files so that the listeners can get different diagrams and different illustrations.

This is one of the downsides of audiobooks and it is just that people only have one medium to consume the book which is audio.

Audiobooks are usually available on different audiobook platforms such as Audible but they are also available as physical copies in the form of CDs and DVDs as well as cassettes. However, this is usually not the case in 2024.

These Are the Steps to Create an Audiobook

Now that we know what is an audiobook, it is important for us to understand the steps to create our own audiobook.

The reason why this blog is so important is because audiobook popularity is rising every day and every year and there might even come a time when audiobooks are going to be the dominant way of enjoying a book.

Step 1: Gather Everything You Need

The first and most important step is simply going to be gathering everything you need which means we are talking about the manuscript.

You might receive the manuscript as a whole or you can get different chapters based on the progression or it might just be a logistical issue.

Whatever the case may be, you need to get everything together that you are ever going to need during the recording so that each and every bit of source material is in front of you.

Review The Source Material

When you are doing that, you must make sure that the source material does not have any problems in it and it becomes even more important if you are trying to record an audiobook translation.

When it comes to translated manuscripts, it is very common to have problems with it and that is why you must also know language experts so that you can solve the problems before starting the recording.

Read The Manuscript Aloud

When you finally have the source material in front of you, the best thing you can do is to give it a reading so that you understand the flow and everything else about the story.

This will also provide you with an opportunity to practice your narration skills because if you are used to reading the story then it will save time in editing. This is because if you read it properly then it will result in fewer cuts during the recording.

Step 2: Plan The Recording

Planning never hurts because planning will help you ensure that you do not have to improvise during something as critical as an audiobook recording.

You can look at different recording strategies online or you can even formulate your own strategy if you have the experience to do it but you must make a few decisions regarding the recording.

Option 1: Record It Yourself

This is the best option we can think of because when you do not have to depend on a production agency or a professional narrator, you can be much more flexible with the schedule and planning.

It is actually easy to do audiobook recording and there are good professional software online that will help you do that.

Option 2: Hire A Professional

The second option is not really that bad if you think about it because a professional narrator will get the job done a lot faster and they will know how to do it.

Sometimes the professional narrator also comes with equipment because they carry their own equipment and their own software.

However, the only thing that you might worry about is going to be the cost but if your audiobook is successful enough then the costs will recover very fast.

Option 3: Audiobook Producer

When it comes to a professional narrator, they are not going to do everything most of the time and they might not have their own equipment or the software most of the time.

If you want professionals to do everything right from the recording to the compilation and produce a completed audiobook file for you then you need to find an audiobook producer.

It is just like getting a self-publisher that does everything for you.

Step 3: Plan The Technicalities

Now that you know who is going to narrate the audiobook, you need software and you need equipment because audiobook recording is all about the equipment you use.

One of the first things that we are going to tell you is to open YouTube and look at different professional audiobook setups. It helps to see how professionals do it.

Once you are done doing that, you can come back to this blog and decide on a few important things.

Software

If you plan on doing audiobook recording then you need to select the software. You will have a lot of choices when it comes to software and some options are free and some are paid.

You can choose a generic audio software that also lets you do audiobooks and most people actually do that.

You can quite easily utilise that kind of but there is also specialised software only for audiobooks that keeps track of chapters and other important elements and they help you to the final editing right from the point of recording.

The only thing you must make sure of is to choose a software that lets you export the files according to ACX standards. It is crucial if you want to publish them on Amazon.

Audio Equipment

Now that you have solved the problem of software, you need to think about the hardware. Lucky for you it is 2024 and you can get very high-quality audio from very affordable setups.

If your budget is very conservative then you can make do with any lav mic from Amazon and if your budget is a little better then you can choose any podcast mic.

And if you do decide to choose a podcast mic, you must also make sure that you do not skip the wind filters and pop filters as well.

There is actually no upper limit to high-quality audio equipment and if you want to spend even more then there are audio equipment worth millions of dollars as well.

Step 4: Choose The Recording Environment

When it comes to recording the actual audiobook, you need to choose the ideal location for audiobook recording.

That is why there are a few choices for you regarding the location of the audiobook recording.

Option 1: Own Location

The number one option might not be the easiest to set up but it is definitely going to give you a lot of freedom and also save you a lot of money.

We are talking about using your own location and that location can be your own room as well.  In order to get your room ready for audiobook recording, you need to remember something.

You need to have the absolute best quality noise-proofing. You can achieve that by getting some soundproofing foam online.

You can improve the situation of soundproofing by only recording at night when everything is quiet.

Option 2: Professional Studio

The second option is for someone who simply does not have their own location to record the audiobook or might not want to invest in soundproofing.

That is where we come to the option of renting a professional recording studio. This studio is going to have the absolute best kind of soundproofing.

This studio is also going to have additional audio equipment that you might need for recording such as mic stands, cables, etc.

While it is going to be cheaper than getting some soundproofing foam and doing all the work at your own location. But if you plan on doing a lot of audiobook recording then having your own place makes more sense economically in the long run.

Step 5: Preparation For Recording

The fifth step is only for people who plan on doing the audiobook recording themselves because if you have assigned someone else to do it then you do not really need to pay attention to this.

But if you are doing the narration yourself then this step is very important for you. We present you a few important tips that will help you have the best kind of voice for audiobooks.

Avoid Getting A Cold

One of the things that might ruin a voice is catching a cold and it is like having ice cream on a very hot day or it is like riding your bike in winter without any neck protection.

You must also avoid other kinds of basic things such as having cold water. These are general tips and they are just about using common sense to avoid getting a cold.

Forget You Are Recording

When you finally plan on recording, you must forget you are recording and there is a reason for that. If you think that and you have never done it before then your anxiety is going to mess up the recording and even change the tone consistency.

But if you think in terms of practice and if you think this is not going to be the final take and you simply record what you read aloud then it will have better results.

It is all about not getting nervous and just reading it in your natural tone.

Try Voice Exercises

There are a lot of voice exercises that news anchors and event anchors as well as singers try out and you should try those voice exercises.

You can get examples of these exercises on YouTube and you simply need to repeat what is being said on the screen.

Voice Modulation

When it comes to having the perfect voice modulation you must keep a few things in mind. You must make sure that your tone is the same throughout the recording.

You must also make sure that if you do the narration for more than one character then there must be a clear difference between the tones of two characters.

If you do not understand pacing then you must try and understand what it means and YouTube again is a good teacher.

You must also understand the reason why people listen to audiobooks is so that they can get a better sense of emotion and that is why you must improve your emotional range.

And finally, you must know when to breathe.

Step 6: The Recording Process

And finally, we come to the actual recording process. This step is important for you irrespective of the fact whether you are doing the recording yourself or you have hired a professional.

Before you start the recording, there are a few simple things you must keep in mind and these things will help you not run into problems during recording.

• You must make sure that all the source material is ready and in front of you so that you do not have any interruptions during the reading.
• Speaking of interruptions, you must also make sure that your phone is silent and that nobody is going to interrupt the reading process.
• If you are using a laptop for the software then you must have it plugged in and not just rely on battery power.
• Along with that, you can also have a cup of lemon tea nearby because it is good for the throat and is very refreshing especially if you are speaking for a long time.
• Before you start the recording you must definitely do test recordings to find out if the mic is on and if the recording levels are correct. You can use headphones to monitor the sound.
• It is completely up to you how you want to break up the recording based on chapters or pages or even time. But after you break it up, you must save the files in different locations. We recommend a physical location as well as cloud locations for added safety.

Step 7: The Editing Process

The editing process is going to be different for everyone and it will definitely be different for someone who is doing it for the first time compared to someone who is a professional.

But you must take your time during the editing and compilation process. This is the step where you add additional sound effects.

You can also do additional sound enhancements and tune the tonality of your voice. You can also do noise reduction but if you have good soundproofing and a clean recording the nthis is not really necessary.

You can also add music if you want but we would suggest you use it wisely.

And then comes the finalisation that includes publication and distribution. You have a few choices regarding publication with Audible being the best option. You can also choose Kobo or Apple Books. OverDrive is also a good option.

Then comes all the documentation and book registration and publishing and keywords and all that stuff.  We would need an entire blog to talk about that.

We hope this blog will help you create your own audiobook and we wish you the best of luck in your endeavour.

However, if you feel like this process is too complicated then we are here for you. We are Orange Publishers and we are the fastest-growing book publishing company in India with a complete in-house setup regarding publishing as well as every other operation like audiobook creation.

Common Audiobook Creation FAQs

Why should you make an audiobook?

The reason why you should make an audiobook is quite simple and it is to do with popularity. Audiobooks are one of the most popular ways of reading a book nowadays.

Everyone is investing in audiobooks and every author is releasing an audiobook version of their books.  Big production giants are moving into the audiobook territory.

And most importantly, it is easier to publish an audiobook compared to publishing a physical book or even an eBook.

Can I make my own audiobook?

You can definitely try to make your own audiobook and this entire blog is all about that. All you need is a little bit of research.

It is just about understanding the process and creating your own process that suits your needs. You do not need expensive audio equipment or professional-grade software to create an audiobook.

All you need is the willingness to try out audiobook creation for the first time and see how it goes for you.

How much do audiobook narrators make?

It all depends on the narrator because someone like Stephen Fry might even make millions and someone who is new might not even make enough for a month’s subsistence.

It is the same with audiobooks as it is with every other industry because if you are new to the industry then your payment is not going to be good.

But if you are a popular narrator or if you are already recognisable as an actor as someone else and you are moving into audiobooks then you can expect better payments.

What is the best app for recording audiobooks?

You can try out Audacity because it is a multipurpose app that lets you not only record audiobooks but do everything related to audio.

The best part about Audacity is that it is free and open-source which means you do not have to worry about security and safety issues.

It does have a steep learning curve and you might need some time to get used to it.

Can you record an audiobook on your phone?

While we do not recommend it but you can definitely try it out because it is definitely possible to do it. It helps if you have a phone with a lot of RAM and processing power.

It might not be the most efficient way of doing it but there are apps that will let you create audiobooks right on your phone.

They also publish books for government recruitment exams and everything related to education and exams. This might give you an idea of why they are at number 6.

At number 9 we have yet another very specific publishing company that only publishes specific kinds of books.

You might have guessed the kind of publisher this is because we are continuing the theme of listing publishers that publish educational textbooks.

This is also a publisher that does just the same thing because GullyBaba only publishes books for distance learning students and IGNOU.

They have one of the best selections of college textbooks and study materials for students appearing for IGNOU exams and but that is just about it.

This is the only reason why they are at number 9 and it is because you do not have a lot of options and also due to the fact that they are a traditional publishing company.

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.

We hope this blog helps you understand everything you need to know about the different kinds of nonfiction 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.

We also hope this will help you choose the perfect paper for your books the next time you decide to publish them.

And if you feel like you want a demo of the different kinds of GSM and paper stock used in publishing when it comes to a legacy publisher then we are here for you.

We are Orange Publishers and we are the fastest-growing and most popular legacy publishing company in India and we can provide you with a demo of the different types of paper stock we utilise for printing at our office.

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.
