Aliquid propriae splendide pericula pertinacia vix quo ad. Vim in mollis docendi, eu cum stet bonorum.
Phase 1: Planning & Outlining (Days 1–14)
Before you start writing, you need a clear vision of your book. This phase is crucial because a strong foundation makes writing much easier.
Step 1: Define Your Book’s Purpose & Audience
Ask yourself:
✔️ What message or knowledge do I want to share?
✔️ Who will benefit from my book?
✔️ What transformation do I want my readers to experience?
Tip: Writing with a clear goal in mind helps you stay motivated and focused.
Step 2: Outline Your Chapters
Create a simple, structured outline for your book. This helps prevent writer’s block and ensures your content flows smoothly.
A basic outline looks like this:
📍 Introduction – Explain what the book is about and why it matters.
📍 Chapters – Break down key lessons, stories, or strategies.
📍 Conclusion – Summarize and include a call to action.
Tip: Think of your chapters as blog posts—each one should focus on one key idea.
Phase 2: Writing Your Book (Days 15–60)
Now that you have a clear outline, it’s time to write consistently.
Step 3: Write Every Day (Even If It’s Just for 30 Minutes)
Many authors struggle because they wait for “inspiration” to write. Instead, set a daily writing goal—even just 500 words per day will lead to a 30,000-word book in 60 days!
Ways to Stay Consistent:
✅ Set a specific writing schedule (e.g., 7 AM–8 AM daily).
✅ Use a voice-to-text tool if you prefer speaking over typing.
✅ Find an accountability partner or writing coach.
Step 4: Finish Your First Draft (Don’t Aim for Perfection!)
Your first draft doesn’t need to be perfect—just get your ideas on paper. Editing comes later!
Tip: If you struggle with writing, Schribe Publishing offers ghostwriting services to help you bring your book to life effortlessly.
Phase 3: Editing & Formatting (Days 61–75)
Once your first draft is complete, it’s time to refine and polish your book.
Step 5: Edit & Revise
Many first-time authors think editing is just fixing grammar, but it’s much more than that.
✅ Developmental Editing: Improving structure, clarity, and flow.
✅ Copy Editing: Fixing sentence structure, tone, and readability.
✅ Proofreading: Catching typos, grammar, and punctuation errors.
Tip: Work with professional editors at Schribe Publishing to ensure your book is error-free and polished.
Step 6: Format Your Book Professionally
Formatting makes your book readable and visually appealing across different platforms like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and print-on-demand services.
✅ Choose clear fonts and proper spacing.
✅ Ensure smooth transitions between chapters and sections.
✅ Adjust formatting for e-books vs. print books
Phase 4: Publishing & Marketing (Days 76–90)
Now that your book is written, it’s time to publish and promote it.
Step 7: Choose Your Publishing Path
You have two main options:
📍 Self-Publishing – Faster and gives you full control over pricing and distribution. (Recommended for most authors!)
📍 Traditional Publishing – Requires a book proposal and acceptance by a publishing house.
At Schribe Publishing, we specialize in self-publishing services, ensuring your book gets published professionally and efficiently.
Step 8: Design an Eye-Catching Cover
Your cover is the first impression of your book—make it count!
✅ Work with a professional designer for a polished, market-ready cover.
✅ Use bold, readable fonts and a clear, engaging title.
Step 9: Create a Book Marketing Plan
Writing a book is only half the journey—you need readers to find it!
🚀 Set up an author website and email list.
🚀 Use social media and content marketing to build hype.
🚀 Run pre-order campaigns and offer launch bonuses.
🚀 List your book on Amazon, Apple Books, and other marketplaces.
Tip: Schribe Publishing offers marketing support to help authors maximize their book sales and reach more readers.
