How to write your own book – experiences?

Updated: 6/17/2022

Can you outline the path from the idea of writing a book to publication? Which path should you follow? Is every path different or are there precise guidelines you should follow? I've written a lot (poems, short stories, essays,...) but never ventured into a longer story. Unfortunately, I would like to avoid beginner's mistakes. Could someone give me some tips on what to avoid?

Yes, exactly. It gives me a lot of relaxation and I can forget many worries of everyday life through the thought process. I have enjoyed writing since my school days and have always improved it. I haven't dared to write a real novel yet, but if I put some of my stories together, they will make nice stories. But I would like to go through the process from beginning to end one day. First and foremost, I want to write a novel. When I'm satisfied with that, I can think about publishing it. I think that would be part of it. Until the end does not mean until the end of the writing process. After that there is much more to come :)

I already know, it's still a lot of work. I'm also not sure if I could do it all by myself. I also have a job. So I don't have too much free time:)

Ok, that sounds good. Do these workshops show you what's important when writing a novel? Does that mean that Novum Publishing helps you during the writing process and afterwards with publishing? That then goes beyond the tasks of a normal publisher. But well, if it is aimed specifically at new authors, there will certainly be a lot to learn for one or the other.

I will take a closer look and consider all options. At the publishing house, they are also very concerned about the help you need as an inexperienced author.

They don't just want to publish books, they also seem to want to make authors better. It's a different approach, but I see some people there who also want to develop themselves and their writing style.

So maybe it's a niche that they've intentionally sought out. Normally you don't get much feedback or even help offered. Either the book fits, then it is published - or it does not fit and that was it. Then you have to keep looking around.
