No one is free from making mistakes. Mistakes are as common as successes, and we learn from them. When publishing a book, many nuances arise that, if not clarified, can cause the author to make a mistake. Therefore, after reviewing our experience with writers, we have compiled a list of the ones we have detected. This article will be as useful for those who are only starting their career (work, for example, as paper writer free) as those who are already book writers with huge writing experience.

It is possible to make some mistakes when publishing a book. Don’t let your work fall prey to these problems; give it the treatment it deserves. Put the solution before the failure appears.

Choosing a publisher

Do you know where to publish your book? Which publisher will give the best treatment to your work? Nowadays, there are a multitude of publishing houses that offer you publishing services. Still, it is always better to learn about them, know how they treat your book, and get opinions from others who have already used this option.

Also, check their experience in the genre you want to work in. This way, you will know if you have started on the right foot in your literary adventure or made a mistake when deciding. I

Poor submission of the manuscript

Another mistake when publishing a book happens when sending a manuscript is not simply sending the draft of your work, as it is after hitting the ‘save’ button. Remember to proofread each and every element you include, choose a suitable format, and fine-tune it. You would be surprised how many projects with a promising future end up in the paper because of not paying attention in this regard.

Also, remember that a good editorial proposal will multiply the chances of your manuscript being read. A document in which you indicate such fundamental aspects as the synopsis of your work, the number of pages, the genre to which it belongs, and the novel values it brings.

Rushing deadlines

“Dress me slowly; I’m in a hurry”. We know how exciting it is to publish a book, but you must be patient. Your work deserves the utmost attention; you must be the first to give it. Don’t settle for the first thing you find. As we said before, gather information.

On the other hand, make revisions and corrections (without falling into perfectionism). Let the publisher do its job and let the result come out step by step. Rushing and rushing to see the final result can have the opposite effect.

Believing that your work does not need to be corrected

Every work should be subjected to this process to avoid errors that, at first glance, may go unnoticed by the writer. An external look never hurts. And not only to account for spelling mistakes but also flaws in style or unnecessary repetitions throughout these pages.

Believing that everything ends when you publish

One of the biggest mistakes when publishing a book is believing everything ends here. Making your work a reality is a challenging goal, and when you achieve it, feel us. It is a reason to celebrate. However, here begins a new path: the promotion of this title.

Do not trust experts

“I know someone who does that for free”. We have no doubts about the virtues of your acquaintances, relatives, friends… But can they give you the same treatment as a professional? Both at the level of cover design, illustrations, proofreading, style, and layout. It is always advisable to turn to experts instead of going cheap.

Not being worried about distribution

Where can your books go? A good distribution of your book will allow you to expand the potential readers who can purchase your work. However, rarely does an author worry about this point.

Don’t make this mistake when publishing your book, and don’t close doors to other exciting markets.
