There are certain factors that can affect the success and outcome of your book. Some of these factors can make you, as an author, stray off the subject of the book. These things should be carefully considered and avoided during the writing stage.
In this blog post, we share in detail 3 factors to consider while writing your book.
- Consider your readers:
The satisfaction of readers must always come top of your considerations as an author. Your readers are the consumers of your work, and their needs must be considered in the writing process of your book. It is important that you ensure that every paragraph, page, and chapter addresses the message of the book as it relates to their needs concerning the topic under consideration.
This will help you avoid fluffy content and narrow down your writing to relevant information that your audience will find valuable.
- Keep your writing simple whilst using engaging words
Many writers and authors, in the bid to appear knowledgeable, tend to fill their work with big grammar and jargon, which tires out their readers as they keep trying to go back to their dictionaries to be able to make sense of what the writer is saying.
Even if you are writing for a knowledgeable audience, it is important to keep your writing simple. Instead of filling your book with jargon, be sure to keep your content simple. That way, your readers will be sure to keep turning the pages till the last dot.
- Get early feedback on your writing:
Early feedbacks help you in modifying your writing in areas you might have strayed off or overemphacised on. Most authors wait until they are done writing before engaging the beta readers in their circle. However, this can bring about a repetition of the process, thereby making the work tedious and lagging.
It is important that while you are writing, you get feedback during the early stages to help you improve your writing.
