“Hey zebra! Please stop pacing back and forth. My eyes are starting to get blurry,” said the lion.
“Well, maybe you need some glasses, and truth be told you could use a cut!” said the zebra.
“Why are you two talking so loud? I can’t hear the parrots,” said the lynx.
Roar! Roar! Roar! “Did you say I needed glasses!? How dare you suggest my eyes are bad,” said the lion.
“It’s obvious to me that the problem is with you and not me,” exclaimed the zebra.
“Let me get this straight zebra. The lion needs glasses, and you know that, how?” asked the tiger.

Do you want to write (and sell) a book? Well you’re not alone. There are literally millions of us out there who want to (and now, due to technology) we actually can.

I believe that the way of the book publishers, literary agents, editors and brick and mortar book stores are heading the way of the dinosaur.

First, there is a high risk factor involved with paying an author to publish a book.
Kids favorite authors
The cost could be astronomical to have the manuscript read, then edited, then pawed over by publishers and their bean counters. Then, the edited manuscript has to go to print.
Outstanding
Color illustrations can’t really be a part of the book because they cost far too much money to process.
Excellent
So, publishers choose authors who are already published. Does this make sense? If an author of a best-seller is unknown, how can his or her best-seller ever see the light of day?

If that “best-seller” does make it into the premier placement at the front of the brick and mortar book store, it may have a shelf life of only two or three weeks before it is tossed into the back of the store, and ultimately it ends up on the discount table at Joes’ Buck-a Book Emporium.

Then, there’s the issue of returns. Publishers have agreements with book sellers whereby they get their money back for “loser books” that were placed incorrectly in stores, or didn’t sell briskly enough.

It may take three years before a book title and subsequent content – beyond that of the 40-page Submission Package, is reaches the brick and mortar.

I need only to remind you that Borders – the number two book store chain, has contemplated bankruptcy.

The aforementioned reasons are partly to blame for the demise of many bookstores to date – including the thousands of “mom ‘n pop’ stands that used to dot America or any other city of town across this planet.

Therefore, my conclusion is that the future of book sales will be in the online e-book format.

How it might work is that authors (rookies or published) will create their book. They will initiate and control the title of the book. They will design their own covers.

They will edit their books using any number of excellent spelling and grammar software programs now available. They will format the book (usually in safe-mode, locked.pdf format), and they will upload the book(s) into an online book store.

Whether you are traditionally published or self-published, once your first book is out in public, you as the author have to commit a great deal of time to marketing it.
Outstanding
This commitment can be exciting and exhilarating, but it can also be exhausting and time-consuming.
Excellent
You may be more comfortable wearing your writing cap than the marketing one, or you may find yourself putting so much time and energy into promoting your first book that you don’t have time left over for the second book.

You need to find a healthy balance between writing and marketing, but you do need to write that second book.

Here are some tips for how to write the second book, what to write about, and finding the time to write it.

The optimal time to write the second book is soon after you finish the first book.
