Tips on starting in writing

By George Dodson


It was once said by Edward P. Morgan that "A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. He added, "It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Books are actually published and not given birth. Someone has to put what you have created into a form that others can enjoy. You might think that you will need a lot of space and equipment to get into publishing. Now days, this simply isn't the case.

Online publishing has become popular now. You don't have to have that novel or self-help book published in print. You can publish it online by making it an e-book. Your work will be seen by millions of people. You can put your advertisements in popular sites like Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. You can advertise your work on sites that are not that prominent. There are many customers who generally come to these sites to know about books on sale. They would rather buy in e-book form because it is cheaper and more convenient. There is no need to go to the shop. They can order it, and in some cases, have it the next day.

What are the main advantages? The cost is far less than having your book put in print. You can search for a site on web that will entertain your work. Lots and lots of people can see your work. They can read it online, use devices like Kindle or Nook Book or just get it printed.

How do you go about publishing in this way?

One can publish his article online. Ezine.com is a very good one for that. If you want you can also start your own blog. If you have already written an e-book, you need to change it to an e-book form and put it on the e-book sites.

The main advantage of this kind of publishing is that you can make changes in the content easily. You need to stay committed to your version, once the book is sent for printing in the print medium.

If you are going to publish this way, you will probably want your own website to showcase your work. It will also be easier for people to search for your work.

It is quite a sensible thing to go for online publishing. Internet is popular among people these days. They generally go to the internet for searching what they want. That is the reason Amazon.com is doing so well. They make it easy to answer your search and provide you with the results in an interesting and effective way.
