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 47th International Kolkata Book Fair – Boi Mela 2024 will take place from January 18th to 31st 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.

This Is How You Write a Book Preface

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.

We are among the very few publishing companies with all our operations in-house which means everything from the printing to the publishing to the copyright and much more is done within our walls ensuring quality and safety.

We will also help you with everything miscellaneous such as your very own author’s website or even the preface and much more.

We would love to hear from you and you also love to see you visit our website to check out everything we do.

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.

Penguin Random House

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.

But if you want to stick to reliable and traditional companies then we would suggest you stay between the number one and number three names in the list.

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.

CHECK OUT THE BENEFITS TO HIRING A GHOSTBLOGGER

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.

Hire A Ghostblogger

Now that you know your needs, you are ready to hire a ghostblogger and you can do it in two ways. You can get a freelance ghostblogger from a freelancing website.

When you do that you might get someone of high quality or you might get a complete amateur and the risk is not worth it.

The other thing you can do is hire the services of a ghostwriting agency because these agencies only have professionals working for them.

You might have very little content need or you might have a lot of content need and they will be able to fulfil all of that because they have multiple ghostbloggers working in a ghostwriting company.

We hope this blog has been helpful for you to understand the benefits of hiring a ghostblogger and if you are looking to hire a professional ghostblogger with excellent industry experience then we are here for you.

We are Orange Publishers and we are the only publishing company to be among pioneers of the ghostwriting industry in India with some of the finest ghostbloggers in India for all your blogging needs.

HERE ARE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT PAPERBACK BOOK FORMATS

If you are publishing your book for the first time and if you want to publish it in paperback then you can totally do it because it is still one of the most popular mediums of book publication.

But the thing you must keep in mind is that with different types of book publishing comes different formats because paperback formatting is different from eBook formatting.

There are even different types of paperback formats. While we will not tell you how to format paperback books because you need an extensive tutorial on that but we will definitely help you with understanding the paperback book format.

You will help you understand how to set up the print edition of your softcover book. We will also give you tips about important paperback book design decisions.

These will ultimately help you in book publishing and understanding this very popular publishing format.  You will talk about all the different factors that contribute to the format such as paperback size and much more.

So, let us start this very exciting blog with the question of why would you want to publish in paperback.

Why Publish in Paperback?

People have misconceptions about the popularity of paperback books because of the rise of eBooks but there is enough data to suggest that at least 70% of all books read worldwide are paperback books.

This means paperbacks are still in popularity compared to all the other types of books including eBooks and audiobooks.

In fact, paperbacks give a kind of legitimacy to the book because if a book is printed on paper that means the book has to have some quality to it.

That is why if you are thinking of self-publishing then you should definitely choose a printed book rather than an eBook.

The reason behind this is that people simply like to hold a book and read it and like the feel of a physical book rather than looking at images on the smartphone or e-reader.

Now that we know how important printed books are we should definitely look at paperback formatting so that you might understand how to assemble your book ready for printing.

But before we do that, we still need to understand what is paperback book formatting.

What Is Paperback Book Formatting?

Paperwork formatting is called simple to understand. It is just how you need to arrange the book before it goes into publishing.

This means you need to follow a certain layout if you want the printed book to come out the way you want.

You can follow pre-determined measurements or you can try out your own measurements but you need to make sure that the book is readable and that it is comprehensible.

One of the best ways to ensure that is to format your paperback and come out with a sample. Creating a sample might feel expensive but it is much cheaper than coming out with the first batch of printed books.

Before we start with the important tips to keep in mind for paperback formatting, we to understand if there is a difference between eBook formatting and paperback formatting.

Is There Any Difference Between eBook and Paperback Formatting?

There are significant differences because you need to understand the purpose and the use case of the layout.

If we consider ebooks then you can fit the text at the centre of the page or to any kind of layout you want to because the entire page can be seen and there is no need for printing considerations.

You can even choose an ebook format where only the data of the text will be taken and it will be arranged according to the ebook platform or format.

You are not going to have that luxury with paperback formatting because you need to always keep printing restrictions in mind.

You cannot have the main body of the text in the centre because a lot of the left edge of the page will be taken up by the spine of the book.

Then there are other considerations such as the size of the page and how much of the text you should fit inside that page which also depends on the size of the book.

Important Tips to Keep in Mind While You Format Your Paperback Book?

Templates Are Always Good

People shy away from templates because they think it is amateur but in reality, you are an amateur and if the final work looks professional then it is professional.

That is why you can get hold of an unlimited number of templates online that will help you simply paste your manuscript. You might probably be using Microsoft Word and you can get a lot of templates for that or any other kind of software you use.

You can then go page by page and do basic editing to make sure you have a completed manuscript. If you do not want to use any regular word processing software then you can use something professional and you are going to have even better controls.

Then all you need is a little bit of attention in the numbering and the widows and orphans. You must also make sure that the numbering is never on the bottom or top left because it might be covered by the spine.

Trim Size Is Very Important

One of the other things that you will need to keep in mind is the trim size because it is a basic essential of book formatting and especially a paperback.

Trim size is basically the size of the book which means the length and width of the book.

There is a precise science to this because if you have a book with a higher word count then you need to pick a size that is big so that the book does not seem too thick.

But if you have a small book then you can get away with a small size. Trim size should not only look good but it should match the philosophy of the readers.

That is why you should choose something that is standard but also matches the kind of book you are writing.

You can choose a custom size but it will produce unnecessary difficulty during the printing process and that is why you can choose between a few standard sizes.

  • 5×8.5 inches
  • 229x152mm (9×6 inches)
  • 279x216mm (11×8.5 inches)

 The Front and The Back of The Book

One of the things to consider when you are formatting your book for paperback is the front and the back of the book.

While it is necessary for eBooks as well but it is much more necessary when it comes to paperback because of the traditions paperbacks follow.

The thing is, you do not start numbering the book from the first page. Page numberings are an entirely different topic that needs an entire blog but we will help you understand it in short.

There are different pages to a book and you might distribute them in sections because one section might contain the copyright as well as the acknowledgements and the contents.

Another section might contain the body of the text.

The last page or the last section might contain credits and much more.

It is usually tradition to not number the pages unless they are the primary body of the text. That is why when you paste your manuscript in the template you need to make sure that they are maintained.

Apart from that you need to keep in mind a few other things such as the headers and also make sure to repeatedly check for errors.

It might seem like a lot of work because it is actually a lot of work. If you are publishing with a traditional publisher your manuscript may even get rejected if the formatting is not correct.

If you are self-publishing and if you do not correct the formatting then most self-publishers will not correct the formatting or bother doing it on their own regard.

But you do not need to worry because we are here to help you. We are Orange Publishers and we are the one and only traditional publishing company with the accessibility and ease of use that comes with self-publishing.

With us, you do not need to worry about book formatting because all you need to do is submit the text and we will do the formatting for you. Whether it is eBooks or paperback, we do everything from copyright filing to book cover design and printing as well as publishing.

Common Book Formatting FAQ

What are the two types of paperback books?

Well, there can be different types of paperback books but when we talk about the two most common types of paperback books then they are definitely going to be mass-market paperbacks.  These are what you commonly get in a bookstore.

And the other kind is going to be trade paperbacks. Mass-markets are bought by consumers for casual reading and tread paperbacks are usually for commercial purposes.

What size is a paperback book?

Paperbacks usually come in a few common sizes and they are often referred to as the classic sizes because of how universal they are.

However, these sizes might be different in your country or your specific book market but here they are.

  • 229x152mm (9×6 inches)
  • 279x216mm (11×8.5 inches)

What is the difference between hardcover and paperback format?

When people want us to tell the difference between paperbacks and hardcovers, we usually have a very simple definition.

A hardcover is a paperback with a cardboard cover and a sturdy spine and better-quality paper.  Hardcovers are exactly what the name suggests, a book with a hard cover which can be made of cardboard or any hard material.

What is a paperback example?

Every modern book in the world is going to have a paperback version because it is much cheaper to produce.

That is why you are more likely to see a paperback than a hardcover. They can be found everywhere from the instruction manual of your smartphone to your school textbooks.

However, if you want to find out the hardcovers then you need to bring out your old dictionary or go to a library and look at important classic books.

CHECK OUT HOW PAGE NUMBERING WORKS IN BOOK PUBLISHING- SIMPLEST PAGINATION GUIDE

Publishing is a science as well as an art and there are a lot of things book publishers need to understand and keep in mind when they create books.

Today we are going to talk about something very significant and reliable and something that is so obvious that we tend to ignore it for its simplicity and accuracy because it just works.

Today we are going to talk about proper book pagination. We are going to talk about book numbering techniques that professional publishers utilise.

There are many unwritten rules in pagination that are just passed down to subsequent generations of publishers for centuries and these are tips for numbering pages in books.

We will try to bring out those pagination strategies for authors. This is so that you can not only understand and get the best page numbering advice for books.

But it is also because you can actually utilize these book layout and numbering tips for self-publishing your book.

We would not suggest you start self-publishing your book based on just this blog alone because we would also recommend you to look at a few book formatting and numbering guides.

But this will be a very good starting point for you to understand chapter numbering in novels and page numbering in books in general.

So, let us look at tips for accurate book pagination.

Key Tips for Numbering Book Pages

The Odd-Even Rule

While this is not a rule but it is something so common that we can call it a rule. We are talking about the recto and the verso. While you can use any kind of creative book page numbering but this is something standard.

If you open a book then the sheet of paper on the right-hand side will be called the recto and the left-hand side or the back of the sheet will be called a verso.

The right-hand side is usually given an odd number which means the recto is always given an odd number and the left-hand side or the verso is given an even number.

But you must also keep in mind that this is only for left-to-right books. If the book is written in a language that is right to left then it can change.

It is a tradition carried on for centuries where recto comes from Rectum and means right in Latin. Verso comes from versus, which means to turn or change and means the other side of the sheet.

This rule also means it becomes much easier to start a new chapter from the right side of an open book which looks good in general. This is one of the most important tips for accurate book pagination.

Differently Numbered Pages

If you want to do proper page numbering then you should not only know how to number the page but you should also know which pages you should not number.

You must also know which pages should not contain the typical Arabic numerals but Roman numerals.

  • Let us start from the beginning as we come to the title page and it should not have any kind of numbering.
  • That is followed by the copyright page and you should not number that as well.
  • If you plan on having a dedication page where you dedicate the book to someone then you should avoid numbering that as well.
  • After that we come to the quotation page which is followed by a blank page and both of these pages should not be numbered. No blank pages should ever be numbered.
  • That is followed by the contents or the index. You do not necessarily have to put a number but if you do decide to give it a number then it should be Roman numerals and not Arabic numerals.
  • Then you can start the book but you might want to add a preface or foreword and you should also number it with Roman numerals. But you should only do it if you use Roman numerals in the index.
  • After that, we come to the body of the text which should be in Arabic numerals with odd numbers on the right side and even numbers being on the left side.
  • After the body of the text, you can then have the acknowledgement but you should number it in Arabic numerals as well.
  • And finally, we come to the notes which should also be numbered in Arabic numerals.

Page Number Placement

Now we come to the page number placement which is one of the other important factors that you must always keep in mind.

But before we tell you page number placement there is a simple rule that you must keep in mind. You must never place page numbers on the upper or lower left-hand side of the margin.

This means you must never place page numbers near the spine of the book. There is a chance that it might be covered inside the spine. And even if it is not covered it does not look nice.

  • If you want to go with the traditional way of doing things then you can place the page numbers bottom centre. This can be done 1 inch below the body of the text. But you must maintain the dimensions on every page and maintain uniformity.
  • Or you can place the page numbers on the bottom right-hand side of the page. While this is not as common as the bottom-centred approach but it is still a good way to put the numbers.

In fact, this is a better way of doing it since the numbers are much more visible and legible.

  • Then there is the upper right-hand corner approach. You can do this as well and there is nothing wrong with this.

But if you plan on doing something like upper-centred then that is kind of unusual but it is your book and you can do whatever you want.

Just that you should not place the numbers on the upper or lower left-hand side because it can cause issues during printing and after print.

Page Number Font

Now we are going to talk about something that is very subjective and it all depends on what you like and what you do not like. We will talk about page number fonts.

  • If you want to do it completely traditionally then you probably have chosen the lower-cantered approach for the number placement

That means you will love Times New Roman. It is one of the most classic Sherif fonts out there and you can use it on practically any kind of book if you want to number it.

  • If you want to give it a modern taste then you can use something like Nunito Sans. It is very legible and minimalist.
  • If you are writing fantasy or about the Middle Ages where the novel is set in older times then you can use something that is beyond classic which is Baskerville.
  • And if you want a no-fuzz approach then Arial is always there to help you because it is one of the most common fonds used for page numbering.
  • Let’s say if you are writing science fiction then we can only think about a very distinctive fond which is going to be Roboto.
  • If you are writing a dystopian novel such as 1984 then we got to just the perfect font for you which is going to be Bitter.
  • If you are going to write something Sci-Fi and the novel is set in the future then the best font for it is going to be something like JetBrains Mono.
  • If you do not want all these options anyone to keep it classic then we always have the trustee and dependable as well as elegant Cormorant Garamond.

It is going to be just the perfect kind of font if you are writing a detective novel such as Sherlock Holmes. It will fit right in with the Victorian landscape and setting.

We can go on and on about the different fonts you can use and as much as you like it we do not want to bore you with different choices.

The thing about fonts is that they are very personal and it all depends on what you like. All you have to do is pick up a few books of the same genre as your book and find out what fonts they are using.

But that is going to be the safe option. It is your book and if you want to use a wacky font that is unique and never used before then you are completely free to do it because you are self-publishing the book.

But stay away from Comic Sans.

We hope this blog has been helpful for you to know a little bit more about page numbering. Pagination is something that is seen as very trivial but it is something very important.

Common Pagination FAQs

What does it mean to number the pages of a book?

Numbering the pages of a book is very important and in fact, they serve very important purposes.

One of the most important technical benefits of having page numbers is during printing. When a book is being printed and then organised together, it must be in the correct order.

The quickest way to make sure that a book is in the correct order is to look at the page numbers.

The second most important thing is that it helps readers keep track of how much they have read the book. If you think about it, a novel cannot be read in a single day. That is why the readers can note down the page number and continue.

It is basically a navigation tool that helps the publishers as well as the readers and even the author when they are writing the book.

And if that book is studied by students then the page numbers are going to act as a reference for scholarly work.

What are the rules for page numbering?

There are no formal rules but there are certain things that have been practiced for so long that they have become standardised in the publishing industry.

One of the rules is that odd-numbered pages should be on the right and side and even numbers should be on the left side when you are numbering a book.

You must also make sure that the Arabic numeral numbering starts from the first page of chapter 1 of the book and not from the title page or the contents page.

You must also make sure that the numbering of the pages should be at the top or the bottom centre or right-hand side. Numbering is not done on the top or bottom left-hand side because that can get hidden by the spine during assembly.

How do you give numbering to the page?

The simplest way to do it is by using software. You are probably going to write the book on a computer or a laptop and not write it freehand or on a typewriter.

That means you will have the advantage of using professional grade book writing and formatting software.

While you can write the book on anything from Google Docs to Microsoft Word, you can then format it on any kind of book editor such as Vellum or Reedsy Book Editor.

You can even use a very popular writing software that is used by a lot of authors which is called Scrivener.

If you want the best layout and typesetting tools used by professionals in publishing companies then you can use Adobe InDesign. Although there might be a learning curve.

At number three we do not have a legacy publishing company like the two before but we have a new company that is slowly but surely rising up the ranks.

They are a self-publishing company primarily and they do not do any kind of traditional publishing. This is one of the reasons why they are at number three and also the fact that they do not have all the experience in the world.

If you keep that aside then they are pretty solid when it comes to providing very high-quality book publishing services.

There are several reasons why you can definitely opt for them and one of the reasons is that they do all the additional things apart from book publishing such as book cover designing as well as providing services like editing as well as promotion and even distribution.

COMMON MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR BOOK FOR PUBLISHING

If you are a new author and you are new to publishing then this is the perfect blog for you because we are going to talk about common self-publishing mistakes to avoid.

We all make mistakes but mistakes can get costly when it comes to self-publishing because they will increase the publishing time by a lot and simply be more work for the publishers.

That is why you should know what mistakes to avoid when submitting your book so that you can not make those major publishing mistakes.

We won’t actually call these self-publishing blunders because mistakes can happen because you might not know it and it is very easy avoiding self-publishing pitfalls.

Having said that, author mistakes in self-publishing are not that common because authors generally do the research and that is exactly why this blog will help you with that research.

So, here are the most common self-publishing mistakes and how to avoid them. If you do not avoid them now then these will become common self-publishing problems.

Common Self-Publishing Mistakes and Solutions

Lack Of Proper Research

One of the most common self-published book mistakes is when the author does not do proper research before submitting the manuscript.

We understand that you might be excited about submitting your manuscript but in that excitement, people submit it too soon without understanding the submission guidelines.

There are certain things that authors should know and these can be even called self-publishing best practices because they are followed by everyone in the industry.

You can get to know the best practices if you look at any tips for successful self-publishing online because these are universal.

They will help you create the perfect book proposal and even the perfect manuscript submission.

But if you submit it too soon then while it might not get rejected like in the case of traditional publishing but you will have to go back and forth with the self-publisher a lot of times.

This will ultimately cost you a lot of time. That is why if you ask any author about self-publishing advice then they will tell you to sit down and just breathe in and breathe out and read the guidelines.

Not Understanding the Audience

One of the other mistakes authors make is that they make wrong decisions when they are submitting the manuscript.

We are not talking about anything related to the submission but we are talking about a few decisions that authors usually have to take when they finalize the deal with the self-publisher.

The thing is that it is not just as simple as submitting your manuscript and letting the self-publisher do the rest.

You will have to have your say on different matters and one of the most important matters is going to be the type of medium you want for your book.

There are so many mediums out there such as paper as well as ebooks and even audiobooks.  But in order to do this you should have a thorough understanding of your audience.

If your audience consists of tech-savvy professionals who simply do not have the time to read a physical book then you should publish your book in audiobook format.

If your readers like to stay classic then you should publish your book in paperback as well as hardcover versions.

And if you do not want to spend a lot of money in the production process then you should invest in ebook versions.

It all depends on your situation and what is going to work for you. This is a prime example of common self-publishing challenges.

Fast Incomplete Editing

If you want to know important self-publishing errors to avoid then this is going to be the number one error that you should not make.

You should never take shortcuts when it comes to the editing of the book because editing is one of the most crucial steps before submitting a manuscript.

This is because it can be a blunder for your book and we will help you understand why.

You should either not edit the manuscript and then ask the publisher to do it for you, or you should completely edit the manuscript.  There should be nothing in between.

This is because if you tell the publisher that you have edited the manuscript but in actuality, you haven’t spent time on it then the publisher will not sit down with you for editing and it will get published.

That is why you should take extra time in doing the editing process. Editing is not just about checking for punctuation errors which can be done with simple software.

Editing is much more deep and it is about deciding important elements of the manuscript. If you decide to skip this part then you will have a faulty published copy in your hands and it will take twice the amount to recall copies and destroy them.

Then again it is impossible to delete print books after publishing.

Skipping Book Cover Design

When you are planning on self-publishing your book, you can choose between two kinds of approaches, the hands-on approach or the hands-off approach.

In the hands-on approach, you are the one who is going to decide everything and the publishing company will be there to fulfil all your wishes. It is when you will do the editing or you will sit with the editor during the editing process.

It is also when you decide on the book cover design and have your own artist create it for you or even create it yourself. This is a very good way of doing things but it is not usually done in self-publishing.

This is because when people self-publish, they simply do not have the time for all this and they want the publisher to take care of everything.

That is why if you plan on having a book cover design of your own but do not add it to the submission then you will have to rely on the publishing company.

Maybe they will get the book cover design correct but if you really want your design to be on the book then you should not skip it.

We would suggest you to do it yourself because the book cover is one of the most crucial parts of your book and it is the first thing that readers are going to see.

Don’t Take Shortcuts with The Synopsis

There are some things you should not skip when it comes to submitting your book and one of the most important things is going to be the synopsis.

The mistake new authors make is that they do not spend time writing the synopsis or what is commonly known as the blurb.

Sometimes new authors get reminded by the publishing company to write the synopsis and that is where the problem happens.

Authors try to do it quickly and they mess up writing the synopsis. That is why whenever you are planning on submitting your manuscript you should not do it without the synopsis.

You should make sure to read other blurbs before writing yours so that you can get a better idea about it because it is the first thing people will read after they open the book.

You should also keep in mind important things such as the hook because without the hook there is no need for a synopsis. You should also not take up a lot of space because synopsis is not something that should be big.

Not Setting the Stage

You should not get confused when we tell you about setting the stage because it is one of the other important things you should do before you plan on submitting the book or even publishing it.

We are talking about setting the stage so that your book performs well in the market. The only way you can do that is to build a brand behind your name before the book even goes into publication.

If you decide to publish a book without any market demand then your books will not sell as many copies as you want.

That is why you should start building your online brand months or even years before publishing the book. You should create a community and you should build a fan base.

You should make sure that you are present on all relevant social media platforms and that you are active on all those platforms.

You should also invest in a professional website that will help your fans get all the details and even get exclusive discounts.

After you have set the stage you can then move on to submitting your manuscript and eventually publishing your book.

This will be the most favourable way of publishing your book and you can have an assurance of success.

Here Is Why We Are the Best for New Authors.
