How to write your non-fiction book

How would you like to see your name on the cover of a published book?
How often have you dreamed about writing your book? 
What's getting in your way of doing it?

I work with non-fiction authors. Everyone knows what non-fiction is, but not everyone realises that they have experienced something or can research something which could become a book.

Non-fiction covers everything from interesting lives (your own and other people's) to places, professional guides, food, drink, local and national history, how-to guides, and so on. You will be surprised if you spend some time thinking about your own passions, experience and expertise because almost invariably everyone has something that could be a basis for your book.

Are you ready to start that book? This is what it can (and does) involve:

• Research - is there another book out there already like the one you plan to write? How can you make yours different?
• What makes you an expert? Why should a publisher put their faith (and money) into you?
• Who is your book aimed at? The more groups of people the better.
• Who do you need to contribute to your book apart from yourself? Any experts?
• Can you tell me in no more than five sentences what your book is about and why I might like it?
• Can you construct maybe eight to ten chapters - give each heading - and see yourself writing anywhere from 20K to 40K in total?
• Can you fit in an hour's writing every day or 6 to 8 hours a week?

If you are answering 'yes to most of the above, you are well on your way to writing it.
