We’re writing a book together: publisher’s requirements

If you are lucky enough to be noticed, you have shouted something significant into the world — a publishing house may consider you as their potential author and offer to write a book for payment to you, and not at your expense.

In addition, autobiographical books in a narrative reportage format are now increasingly being practiced. It turns out that anyone can write a book about themselves, especially if your personal story can motivate other people to achieve their goals, to find their dream — their guiding star.

As a rule, if the publishing house finds your topic relevant, it will give you some recommendations, may sketch out a plan for the expected imperishable work, and even offer to write part or all of the text for you.

This is when, for example, you are successfully working in some popular area of psychology and have a large client base and readership. Then it is likely that your publisher will offer you help, support, or any other improvement to the text you are creating.

In this case, you are free to turn on the stubborn person and continue to do everything only as you see for yourself. Or show healthy compliance and diplomacy, still listen to the advice of professionals, using in the process of writing a book not only your creative impulse, but common sense regarding cooperation.
