Preparation of Business Plan for your project.

The first question we are going to ask you is:

Do you have enough capital to fund your Book?

If you think your book is going to be a good seller, and you have no capital funding, draft up a business plan, and find a sponsor who may take an interest in your Writing Career.

It will cost over thousands of dollars or more  to have a printer set out the typeset for your book, then they have to bind the book and then printing costs for the Ink and delivery of the book.

Of course it is depending on the amount of pages. 

Don't rely on sales against this cost as there might not be any. Things do not happen overnight and if they do it is a Miracle.

Be realistic in any venture as it is a high-risk factor in these times. Live in the reality and not the dream world.

Have you done your homework and created a study of  the competition between your book and the Market out there?

You need to find out what books on your title are already selling out there in the market. 

This is time for you to do some homework.

Do you think your book will have potential? 

Have you identified potential sales?

( i.e. distribution. Local shop area, library, local schools.)

Please do not include your family or friends in this category as they usually expect to get free products.

Do you think there really is a market out there for your book?


Do you know how to promote your book to potential buyers?


Do you know how much your book would cost to advertise?


Do you know anything about advertising and marketing your product?


Publishing a book is not difficult but selling a book is harder than you think.

Remember we have had the experience and been through the teething problems, we are sharing this information with you, to help you get started.


Do you know  how to set out a business plan to prepare your book for copyright?


Do you have editing experience? 


Get a critique from a local library or english teacher from a school that will help build up your credits for the book you write.



Do you have time to go and sell your product OR Do book signings in your local area?


Can you afford a payment fee in your business plan??
