Building a book is essential to every writer’s journey to publication. In this post, I’d like to provide an overview of the main components necessary to go from a working draft to a printed book. This will double as a framework for follow-up posts in the “To Build” series.

Writing a book can be daunting. It’s like entering a pitch-black tunnel without knowing when you’ll reach the other side. With this guide, I hope to ignite your idea headlamp so you can use it to dispel the darkness ahead.

The Storyletter has been running a series called “To Build,” emphasizing the basic tenets surrounding writing fiction online and establishing yourself as an independent creator. If you’d like to read the topics covered thus far, here’s the list:
