Full Moon Rising by Daryn Cross<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong>Welcome to our bi-weekly posts from guest columnist, Bobbye Terry<\/span><\/strong>. This week she offers useful tips for us to treat our writing as a business.<\/strong> We\u2019re curious to hear your tips too! Share your thoughts with us! Thanks!<\/strong> {PS. If you\u2019d like to be a guest columnist at Writer\u2019s Fun Zone, read how to do that here<\/a>.}<\/em><\/p>\n

^*^<\/p>\n

Last year I spent an afternoon reading up on medical practice management (don\u2019t ask\u2014I know it sound odd, but there was a reason). As I read those areas practice managers must master, I realized the processes weren\u2019t that different from what a professional writer must use to master the business of writing. If you\u2019re writing and publishing, or have the intent of publishing, you\u2019re doing yourself a disservice if you don\u2019t approach the whole venture as a business enterprise. The love you have for your finished work must not take precedence once the work is finished. Then it\u2019s time to become the sharp business person.<\/p>\n

Here are the things you need to consider:<\/p>\n

1. Your Enterprise Should Operate with Maximum Efficiency, Quality Output and Intent to Increase the Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writers have a \u201cpractice\u201d in the sense that they have a business producing a commodity that can be sold to the end-user, the reader. The better the quality controls on the writing, such as critiquing, editing, and testing the market before submission, the better it is likely to sell and produce a profit. Therefore, a writer might want to \u201cinvest\u201d in someone to assist in this process, whether it is in time, by having a barter system where a critique partner reviews the work or she pays an external editor to go through it. Either way, I think the writer would still want an impartial beta reader to read through before it either goes on to a publisher or is indie published.<\/p>\n

2. You Must Handle Multiple Management Tasks\u2014Financial, Operational, Managed Care<\/em> and Personnel<\/strong><\/p>\n

A writer\u2019s multiple management tasks consist of: the financial, which encompass most of a writer\u2019s end-put activities; operational, what needs to be done to submit, close the deal track sales, and how to turn a profit after advertising, home office and public appearance expenses; management of publishing discounts and other distribution concerns; personnel issues to include any individuals hired by you to edit, advertise, provide administrative support, etc. All of these could be outsourced to a virtual assistant.<\/p>\n

3. Quality Control: Measuring How Well the Enterprise is Doing, Reporting Meaningful and Practical Financial Data to Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re back to tracking sales, then submitting ARCs for reviews, checking fan reaction via author pages, blogs, Facebook and other networking sites. Make sure to let the editor know what input you\u2019re receiving. Or if you\u2019re indie publishing, it\u2019s all about tracking what efforts work and learning from that data. Again, these are tasks a virtual assistant might be able to handle.<\/p>\n

4. Pre-collections and Post-Collections<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always make sure you keep the publisher honest about sales. If you\u2019re fortunate as I am now, you have good relationships established. With regard to large New York press, an agent really helps. For you as an indie, it\u2019s all about keeping good records to make sure the distributor(s) is\/are paying you as they should.<\/p>\n

Remember, once your baby is finished, that book becomes a commodity. Then you\u2019re running a business.<\/p>\n
