If you have ever dreamed of writing and publishing your book, you can realise that dream through self-publishing. Self-publishing is the route many writers choose these days to make their works available to the reading public. Self-publishing today is different from what it used to be many years ago when authors had to spend a lot of money to publish their books. Today, authors can self-publish their book for free or for as little as $100 depending on the self-publishing platform they choose.
As a soon-to-be author, the first thing you need to do to self-publish a book is to know your genre. One of the rules of writing is that you should write about what you know. If you have a specific genre that you enjoy reading, the chances are that that is the genre you will want or like to write about. Consider your interests and the types of books that you read before you decide on the genre you want to venture into. Your primary aim in writing a book should not be to make money. It should be about something you have an interest and passion for. There are a lot of genres available in both fiction and non-fiction writing. Before you start writing your book, have a plan of what the book will be about and the genre it will fit in.
You need to focus on a specific genre when you are writing a book so you can market it. Some books may cross genre lines, such as paranormal and romance books, while some books will fit neatly into a genre.
