Video transcript:
If you're writing a book and you're working towards a tight timeline, you might be trying to figure out how you can speed up production and get that book done a lot faster.
If you're writing a book and planning out the timeline, you might be starting to realize that all of the phases of self-publishing your book can take a really long time. And if you're deep into it,
you may be finding out that some of the pieces, like editing are taking much longer than you thought.
So here's five tips to help you speed up the whole process.
NUMBER ONE:
Hire your team from the start.
We've talked about your team in a different video, so go back and check that out.
Knowing who you're gonna work with from the start helps you avoid long delays that can happen as you search for the right people to work on your book.
Get them all lined up in the beginning and then they'll be ready to work on your book when you're ready for their service.
NUMBER TWO:
Limit go backs.
What does that mean? Well, I'm sure you've done this.
You're working away and then you think, you know what, I need to add a quote.
Or you know what, I need to add research, or I need to get somebody's permission to include this excerpt or image.
And you're gonna go back to it.
Well you think it's gonna be faster to just do all of those at the end, but the reality is, those go backs can take a ton of time.
So really try not to have very many in your book so that when you're done, the draft of your book, you're actually done the first draft of your book.
NUMBER THREE:
Use your best early draft of your book to solicit contributions, to solicit endorsements and to get some early reviewers on board to support your book.
Doing this when you have a perfect draft will cause a huge delay because people are busy.
They won't have time to review your book as quickly as you want them to.
So the timeline for launching your book will get extended if you're waiting for all of these people.
So get them an early copy and then you can give them more time to review your book and give you exactly what you need.
NUMBER FOUR:
Source your graphics, get permissions, figure out the images and the sizes that you need as early as possible. If you wait until your book is done, and then add them and after, this is going to extend the timeline on your book project a lot longer.
FINALLY:
Plan your launch early.
Figure out who your launch team is going to be, who your early readers are going to be, and start building support, building momentum early.
If you plan you launch at the start, then you'll be ready when your book is done.
If you try to plan your launch when your book is done, now you have to go and solicit all the people to help you, get your marketing team, get your early readers, get your reviewers on board after you're done and you're gonna add months and months to your book project.
So plan that early too.
These five things may all seem simple, but when combined, they'll help you cut months out of your book project so you can create a professional book and do it on a tight timeline.
