But actually getting published is about relationships, relationship with yourself and with your readers. Lots of readers.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that a book is a dialog you have with yourself and your readers? An exchange. A meeting of minds. A conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Answer these questions for your nonfiction message to uncover your relationships waiting to blossom.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Know What Your Book is About<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat message are you passionate about bringing to the world?<br \/>\nList 5-12 points. Less than 5 and you may not have a book, but a guide, or series of articles. More than 12 points and you probably have more than one book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know Who Benefits From Your Book<\/strong><br \/>\nWho can benefit from your message?<br \/>\nBe specific. Your audience isn\u2019t everybody. Get real. Appealing to everybody is appealing to nobody. Sound familiar? List your audience\u2019s demographics (age, salary, job title, residence, etc) and psychographics (attitudes, beliefs, likes, dislikes, etc.).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know How Your Book Will Help Others<\/strong><br \/>\nHow will your book help your audience? How will your book benefit them?<br \/>\nList the results they will receive and\/or the experience they will have from reading your book. Yes, be specific.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know Yourself<\/strong><br \/>\nHow are you the right person to bring this message to your audience?<br \/>\nList your experiences, knowledge, know-how, and personality traits. Brag. This is the place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know How You\u2019re Unique<\/strong><br \/>\nHow are your points and approach different from other authors and books out there?<br \/>\nFind this out by doing the research. Research your competitors and companion books. Some books will complement yours while other books will seem to compete. Operative word: seem. Know their unique selling points. Make your book different and find a way to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know Why You Want to Write and Publish this Book<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat motivates you? What are you passionate about?<br \/>\nDescribe the experience you want your reader to have. It\u2019s probably what you want for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know the Big Picture<\/strong><br \/>\nHow does this book fit into your personal and professional life?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know Your Blind Spots<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat stops you from moving forward on getting your book done and out into the world?<br \/>\nClarify your weaknesses and get support.
