Although there are numerous challenges a writer faces while publishing their book, it is yet priceless, to finally hold your <em>own<\/em> book and see people reading it all across the globe. <em>South-Asian<\/em> writers in particular, have to deal with both, the limited options available while publishing their work, and a lack of funds available. The inadequate laws regarding  <em>plagiarism<\/em> and <em>intellectual theft<\/em> are further barrier. Many countries have <em>weak <\/em>law enforcement which is why plagiarism is common. Despite these drawbacks, to publish your own book is not an alien idea anymore. If you are a budding writer shying away from taking the <em>first big step<\/em>, here is a guide to help you start off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Publish Your Book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 : Work on your Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a story ready, skip this step. If you&#8217;re starting from scratch, begin by drafting your story. Make a rough outline of the events that will take place at the beginning, middle and at the end of your story. Sketch out your characters and develop them beyond the premise of your story. <em>Knowing<\/em> your character well is one way of making sure that you&#8217;re presenting them in an authentic manner. When you start writing, maintain an undertone that will set a <em>theme<\/em> for your story. Stick to your <em>theme, tone <\/em>and<em> style<\/em> to engage the reader and allow them to familiarize themselves with your story. <em>Keep writing and do not lose your will<\/em>. Set a daily\/weekly target and abide by it. And, you&#8217;re ready to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/publish.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4807\" width=\"519\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/publish.jpg 512w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/publish-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><figcaption>Self-publishing your book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 : Format the raw content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have <em>hand-written<\/em> your story, begin typing it. This will help you re-read and edit any mistakes. If you have your text typed already, choose a good <em>font<\/em>. It is best to go with basic fonts like <em>Times New Roman<\/em>, that are familiar to your readers. You can take help from an online manuscript format like <em>William Shun&#8217;s<\/em>. Check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shunn.net\/format\/classic\/\">here<\/a>. To get you started, set your font size to <strong>12<\/strong> points,  leave margins on both sides and use a black color for text. Remember, <em>do not<\/em> make it fancy, let the reader focus solely on your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 : Proof-read and Edit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying, <em>proof-reading<\/em> is an essential step on your way. Look for spelling\/grammar mistakes. An easier and faster way to do this is using an app to check it for you. If nothing fancy, just put your text in<em> Microsoft Word<\/em> and fix the tiny errors. It is also important at this stage, to alter or edit any phrases you feel are <em>repeated, unnecessary <\/em>or<em> clich\u00e9<\/em> . Reading out loud also helps make sense of your <em>expression<\/em>. Try reading your manuscript to a friend or use an app that will narrate your text. <em>Listening<\/em> will help you pick mistakes easily. One common error that writers often make is using one word over and over again. Pick that word and try replacing it with another. Can you guess the next step? Publish! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 : Publish!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4 is as challenging as it can get.
