How To Go About Writing Your autobiographical essay

When you look at the whole part of writing an e-book, it looks like an impossible thing to do. The hardest part of writing is the first sentence. If you concentrate on breaking your autobiographical essay into sections it won't seem quite as daunting.

Think of writing an e-book like climbing a mountain. You stand at the foot of the mountain wondering how you are ever going to reach the top. There is only one way to accomplish this, one step at a time.

Think of writing your e-book in the same manner. You must create it step by step, and one day, you will take that last step and find yourself standing on top of that mountain.

The first thing you have to do, as if you actually were a mountain climber, is to get completely organized. Unlike a mountain climber who would be organizing gear, you as the writer will be organizing your thoughts.

Once you have completed each step, you will be read to actually begin writing your narrative essay.

The first thing you need to determine is the title. Write down several ideas and one of them will reach out and grab you. The title will help you focus on writing your topics; it will serve as a guide to ask and answer your readers' questions.

Try to use a clever title since this helps to sell, however avoid the too cute. A good example might be: "Stop Being A Couch Potato, Five Exercise Plans That Whip You Into Shape".

Then you want to write out a thesis statement. The thesis statement is simply a sentence or two exactly describing the problem or question your book is addressing and how your book will solve that problem.

The chapters of your e-book will be formed by your thesis statement. Once your thesis statement is completed, you have a foundation for the rest of your e-book. From these two little sentences your e-book will grow chapter by chapter.

It is important to stay focused on your thesis statement, as each chapter must support the thesis statement. If your thesis statement cannot be support in the chapters, you need to change the thesis statement or drop the chapter.

For example: your thesis statement might read: Do you have the couch potato blues? Get yourself back in shape with these five exercises that will build your energy.

Once you have your thesis, before you actually start to write, make sure there is a good reason to writer your book. Ask your some simple questions:

*Does your book present useful information and is that
information currently relevant?

*Will your book positively affect the lives of your readers?

*Is your book vibrant and will it keep the readers attention?

*Does your book answer questions that are meaningful and significant to your readers?

Be being able to answer yes to all of these questions, you should be pretty confident that you have an e-book that will be interesting to others.

Another important step is to figure out who your target audience is. It is this group that you will be writing to, and this group will dictate many elements of your book, such as the style, tone, diction, and even the length.

What is the age range of your readers, their general gender, what are they most interest in, and even the socioeconomic group they come from are all questions you need to ask yourself in order to be able to target the correct market.

The more you can list about your target market, the easier it will be to define and determine your target market.

What is the reason you are writing your e-book? Is it to promote your business? Enhance your reputation? Bring quality traffic to your website?

What are your goals in terms of publishing? Do you want to sell it as a product on your website, or do you want to offer it as a free gift for filling out a newsletter opt-in form or for ordering a product?

Are you interested in using each chapter as an e-course or to attract affiliates?

These are important concepts to consider. The more you are upfront before writing your e-book, the easier it will be to complete.

Making your e-book user friendly is vital to the success of your e-book. Keep your formatting in your chapters fairly consistent, especially if your book is non-fiction.

The trick to a successful e-book is to keep it engaging for the reader. Anecdotes, testimonials, short stories, photos, graphs, tips and techniques will keep the reader turning your pages.

Write in a conversational tone rather than a formal tone such as what you would find in a text book. Using sidebars are very useful for quick reference and they help to break up the density of the page.

Practice makes perfect and writing is no different. Good writing takes practice. The art of writing is a life process; the more you write and read, the better your writing will become.

The better your writing becomes the bigger your sales will be. It is a good idea to read books, magazines and articles on writing and when you see a tip that jumps out at you, write it down for reference.

E-books that are read from a computer screen are sometimes difficult to read. Keep this in mind when you are creating your e-Book. Provide a lot of white space in between the paragraphs.

If your pages are too dense, your readers will not finish your book because it is draining on the eyes.

Break up your paragraphs by using bulleted list and numbered lists. This will provide information that is easy to absorb for your reader and gives the reader a break from dissecting your paragraphs.

The font can make the success of your e-book. Utilize a font that is very easy on the eyes and stick with that font family. Using dozens of different fonts to make your pages "pretty" will only tire your readers before they past the first page.

Use spacing of at least one and a half and a font that is large enough to read on the screen, but small enough that the whole page fits on a computer screen.

This will take some testing, but it is well worth the efforts. Another thing that is so important and so overlooked is spelling and grammar errors. Don't mess up a great book because you didn't take the time to utilize spell and grammar check.

Now you have finished a book. Publish your e-book and wait for the download requests to come pouring in.
