Publishing Fact #20

Publishing Fact #20 proofing is the straight grammer and spell check process where editing involves some type of writing and structure change. These changes can be minor and barely noticed (light edit) or a major change in the flow of the story (heavy edit). The next phase of editing is ghostwriting where the book is based on someones ideas or testimony but is completely written by someone else.

Is Time a Problem?

I just finished a conversation with a potential author. His statement was similar to one I have heard many times, “I just can’t find the time to finish my book.” My answer was also similar, “why don’t you let us help you?” CSN Books helps many authors by transcribing tapes, ghostwriting , and even interviewing the author to help get their ideas on paper. We can take the book from there through the process of proofing and editing then typesetting to get it to a format the author likes all the way through designing a cover and printing. We can then help with distribution and getting their book out into the marketplace. Let CSN Books help you to reduce that time burden and get your book published quickly.

Look at ALL ASPECTS!

Amazon is reputed to be the best way for distribution of a Christian book or books , but I find there are better publisher and publishing options, even if your desire is in self-publishing .
One such avenue is csnbooks , which only charges 20% for fulfillment as opposed to charges as high as 65% from other marketing or distribution avenues.
Before you publish as a writer , student the avenues before you use POD , also called Print on Demand , or if you decide to publish with a publisher .
Spend as much time looking at options such as cover desig , ghostwriting , ISBN #, proofing , and all other aspects of the publishing industry before you decide.

Imagination

I was just thinking of why I would rather read a book than watch a movie, one word…imagination. A good writer stimulates my imagination a movie often shuts down my imagination. A good Christian book also stimulates my spirit. Has God planted a truth in your spirit that you need to put in writing? Would He use you to stimulate other’s imagination and spirit? I believe that is His preference, to use us to communicate His heart. CSN Books would love to partner with you in that adventure. If you can put it in writing we can help make it into a finished book and get it in the hands of others who need to receive that gift of truth.

Passion in Publishing

I recently attended a Christian writer’s conference where I had the opportunity to interview several potential authors. There was one thing that stood out to me that separated one from another. Some of these authors demonstrated a sincere passion for what they had written. This one factor gave me the confidence that their book would have a much stronger chance for success. I told them that as a publisher I could help them with everything else such as editing, typesetting, a great cover design and other things that make a book look great but their passion for the message is what would set their book apart. If you have a message that you are passionate about CSN Books can help you convert that passion into a quality book you can use to deliver that message.

Are You Too Busy?

In today’s culture of busyness and the tyranny of the urgent many find there is little time to focus on what is really important. That is why it is important for the Christian community be a resource for those in need. One way we can provide these resources is through writing down the things we know to be true and making that information available through printing and publishing Christian literature. Take some time out and think of just 10 things you have found to be true and then spend some time meditating on those truths and finding scripture to support them. You may be surprised when you are done as to how important these truths may be to others.
