			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Publishing your doctoral dissertation can be very effective for the aspiring educator. When go through the blood, sweat, and tears of organizing your thoughts, research, and argument for your dissertation you are at your prime. This is a work that has been well thought out, sources double checked, and all T&#8217;s crossed.<span id="more-642"></span> This is the kind of work that gives way to advancements in the world across the board.</p>
<p>It reminds me of the movie, &#8220;A Beautiful Mind&#8221;. Russell Crow and his friends in the movie thought long and hard about what they would develop as their theory. This theory that is developed many times, such as in the movie ends up becoming the driving force of a person&#8217;s life. The work is many times the best possible work of the student that it becomes useful to the world at large such as in the case of this movie. We at our publishing company have been approached by doctoral students wanting to publish their work and I tell you these are the deepest and best books that we have seen.</p>
<p>If you have a work such as this that you have done or you are presently working on an important work such as this then you should definitely consider publishing your work and promoting it. Becoming an author to some people remains to be the mystical or far out thing. When you have a written work or an important message to deliver then you should consider ways to distribute that message to the market that it concerns. Publishing your message or work is an easy way to put your theory to work.</p>
<p>I encourage you to become an author because the world needs development in our thinking which influences development in our actions, systems, and organizations. The more powerful messages we can get out to the world, the more growth and development we will see in the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graduates from universities throughout the United Kingdom are on the hunt for jobs right out of school. The job hunt can be a difficult process, considering many graduates are still in the process of determining what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Often, graduates need to look at their skill sets, their interests,<span id="more-640"></span> and the most interesting jobs on their list in order to get their fit in the professional door. Graduates who have writing ability, a knack for creativity, and the ability to work hard in a competitive field should consider the publishing industry.</p>
<p>Publishing houses throughout the United Kingdom offer a variety of positions for graduates interested in the industry. Communications or art graduates can get involved in cover and book design for educational textbooks at a small university publisher. Sales graduates and advertising professionals can break into the publishing industry by working on promotions for a large magazine publisher. Editors, copywriters, indexers, and other positions are open in publishing houses big and small for interested graduates.</p>
<p>While there are plenty of publishing houses and printers throughout the United Kingdom, the job market is particularly tight. The Internet has made the self publishing process more accessibly to writers, who market their own materials to consumers and bypass the publishing process. As well, the market for fiction and nonfiction works has always been competitive and has required top notch talents at publishing houses. The qualifications needed to break into entry level publishing positions have gone up over the last decade, with many graduates opting to go into other professions.</p>
<p>As with any pursuit in life, competition is a sign of important work being done by the competitors. Graduates should not be deterred by the high barriers to entry for the publishing industry because there are plenty of ways to circumvent the traditional application process. There is an abundance of UK recruiting firms that offer connections to publishers and take the pressure of marketing applicants off of the graduate applicant. Graduates should also consider temporary publishing projects and internships at their ideal publishing house, as this will give them the valuable experience sought after by employers.</p>
<p>Graduates will see an increase in publishing positions over the next decade, due to the need for technologically savvy professionals to help bring the publishing world on the Web. The average salary of entry level editors ranges from 22,000 to 38,000 pounds per year, depending on the size of publisher. As well, graduates can receive great benefits, interesting advancement opportunities, and free books for their home library. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you want to become a successful published author but you&#8217;ve found out that no major publishing company wants your work? You&#8217;ve just been dumped onto the road of real publishing success! I say real publishing success as opposed to fake publishing success. Do you realize that about 99% of all authors get rejected from major publishers just like you? Even if you haven&#8217;t began to the process of seeking a publisher for your written work this is for you.<span id="more-638"></span></p>
<p>Real publishing success comes to the author that works for it. Getting a book &#8220;deal&#8221; from a major publisher is not what you think it is. You&#8217;ll send your manuscript to probably 100 different publishing companies just to begin the process of rejection. You&#8217;ll spend big money in creating and mailing a professional, well organized presentation kit out to 100&#8242;s of publishers. Not to mention the 100&#8242;s of hours over the next year you&#8217;ll spend in giving follow-up calls and getting the run around and chasing your own tail. You&#8217;ll sooner or later figure out that major publishers only want major people. You know Bill Clinton, Stephen King, Paris Hilton, Billy Graham, etc.</p>
<p>You see the need for your work in the world but you have to realize that everybody&#8217;s work is just as important as yours. It&#8217;s no different with publishing a book. If you get a book deal with a traditional publisher, you&#8217;ll get a small advance, then your book will hit some bookstore shelves and the publisher will do a store promotion of your book for a few months and then stop promoting you. You&#8217;re then left with only one advance after all that time, and hard work of trying to get a traditional book publishing deal. Today, people are taking their careers as writers into their own hands as published authors.</p>
<p>Books don&#8217;t sell themselves. Even if you do work hard and promote your book and bust your hump you&#8217;re still only going to make about 6% of the retail price as your income from the book. Your book will be promoted by your publisher for a few months, then when you don&#8217;t sell enough books, they&#8217;ll stop promoting your book and that will be your publishing career. You&#8217;ve got to take matters into your own hands if you want to be a successful author. When you self-publish, you get to keep the rights to your work. You make anywhere from 40-60% profit when you sell copies of your book and around 10% in royalties. You have to work to promote your book and schedule engagements where your book can be sold but you have to do that anyway. By becoming a self-published author you will make more money on each book copy sold, you will keep control of your career and work, and you can make real success for yourself. You can build a successful career as a self-published author then have some real credentials or a track record to show major publishing companies for a book deal if you choose to do so.</p>
<p>Many people today find that they are doing better as self-published authors than traditionally published authors because of the control of their business they keep and the amount of profit they make on book sales. Once you develop a plan and carve out a market for yourself, you&#8217;ll probably find the self-publishing route to be more lucrative yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Think about the methods and tools used today to communicate with people. There are many, but not all of these methods work well all over the world. There are islands, and regions, and countries that don&#8217;t have the option of watching satellite TV or listening to satellite radio. Yet these people can still effectively be reached through books as the means of communication.<span id="more-603"></span> Even for a more practical purposes, writing a book is one of the most industrious and effective ways to reach people and influence people in the world; past, present, and into the future.</p>
<p>TV certainly gets to more people faster but when you are considering the financial, recourse, and time cost of starting a TV program as a means of expanding your ministry you can get deeply discouraged. By publishing a book you can reach people in countries that are undeveloped and reach those in your own backyard with less expense and still have a super effective tool through which you can communicate and reach people.</p>
<p>Not only is book writhing a less expensive solution to your evangelism ministry, it is also a more lasting solution. The moment you can&#8217;t afford the expense of having a radio or TV ministry, that&#8217;s it. No more flow. But even if you get busy in life and you take time away from promoting and marketing your book, people are still reading, the message is being passed from one person to another person. Friends recommend good books and let one another borrow them all the time. So with a book you always have a voice. You never lose your ability to reach people by becoming a published author.</p>
<p>You can become a published author quite easily today. There are many different companies that can help you become a published author. Taking the time to research different companies and their offerings makes the difference. You need to find a company that suits your needs and one that can tailor a solution to your particular publishing needs. You want to go with an experienced company and one that has been in business for several years. You want to go with a company that educates you on the large world of publishing, writing the best book, and marketing your book.</p>
<p>Book publishing is a great tool that many evangelists use today and if you haven&#8217;t begun to use this tool you&#8217;re missing out. Get with the program! Become a published author and get your message out to people you will personally never touch but whose lives you will change.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To publish a book is to become immortal. Why? Because your name and most importantly, your ideas will live on even when you are no longer physically here on earth. For as long as there are people who read (for information and for pleasure), accept, or even oppose (for the sake of argumentation and critical analysis) your ideas, your person is alive through that book.<span id="more-601"></span></p>
<p>For many-at least for those who have the passion for reading and writing-to be able to publish a book in their lifetime, is an ultimate goal, an ultimate dream. Hence, having been able to publish a book at least once in their lifetime is already an achievement.</p>
<p>There are also many who would want to publish a book for profit. Why not? Whatever kind of book it is that you have in mind, whether it&#8217;s literary, fiction or non-fiction, informative, self-help, scientific, medical or investigative, for sure it will sell-if not millions, thousands at least. There are all sorts of readers out there and definitely there&#8217;s a certain group of bookworms that&#8217;ll love your book.</p>
<p>Publishing a book nowadays is easier than ever. Aside from the traditional means of publishing a book, there&#8217;s already the Internet, which you can make use of to quickly, conveniently and affordably publish a book-or rather, an e-book.</p>
<p>So, you want to publish a book? To help you start, here are some pointers you can consider and some tips you can follow so you can make that dream of yours a reality in no time at all.</p>
<p>Get all the information you need &#8211; First and foremost, you should know how the publishing industry works and that includes e-book publishers. There are what they call as agents who read manuscripts and book proposals. Many publishing houses take advantage of agents&#8217; help in deciding whether a book is worth publishing or not. Many publishers also agree to publish a book only when the book has been recommended by these agents.</p>
<p>There are of course lots of other writers out there who aspire to publish a book, just like you; certainly, among all those aspirants, there are the best, good and bad writers (well not literally bad, but they just don&#8217;t meet high standards of most publishers). You might want to go to an agent first or better yet write him a letter to inquire about certain procedures in publishing a book and other matters rather than going directly to a publishing house and get rejected at once.</p>
<p>Provide a complete and comprehensible proposal &#8211; Even when the agent or the publisher has not yet responded to your inquiry, you should already prepare a proposal about that book you want to publish. It should include an overview of your book, a description of your targeted readers, description of published books that may have similar topic or subject as your book, introduction about yourself, and a summary of each chapter of your book or an outline of the story. It would also be helpful to state in your proposal how long your book is. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I talk with pastors, organization leaders, and speakers about how they can expand their ministry or organization by developing a line of books and they are simply amazed. When we think of growing or developing our organization many times we think of TV, radio, more programs, etc.<span id="more-599"></span> but many people just don&#8217;t think of expanding or developing their organization by publishing a book. This is one of the most powerful ways of growing as an organization for several reasons:</p>
<p>? For one, a book is the best to of learning for a visual learner. You can&#8217;t expect that because you speak in person, on TV, or radio that the people that hear you are learning as much as you would hope they are. Some people are simply more visual than they are auditory so it&#8217;s what you can show them that makes the difference. These people like charts, graphs, pictures, and written words. A well written and visually captivating book will speak volumes to these people. This is important to you because you want your audience to receive you well. The better your audience receives you, the more your words will reflect through their lives. They will also tell and recommend more people to your ministry.</p>
<p>? Also, a book is the most enduring method of communication. It&#8217;s not through radio, satellite, TV, or seminar that history from the earliest times BC have been recorded and taught to us; but it&#8217;s through the printed medium. Your written words stand throughout the ages. When you write a book, you not only write for today but for people 60 years and even 600 years from today. Consider the Holy Bible and other ancient records of history and how they have endured time and changed the hearts of men that we will never have met, us ourselves, as well as those we won&#8217;t get the opportunity to meet.</p>
<p>? A book is a great way to begin, expand, or develop your ministry because it&#8217;s less expensive than other mediums. It&#8217;s less expensive and consumes far less time to publish a book than to launch a TV or even a radio program. However, if you do have one of these as your ministry, then publishing a book is a great way to further develop that which you have already established.</p>
<p>You should definitely do more research on book publishing as a great opportunity to begin, expand, or further develop your ministry, speaking career, or organization into an effective and prosperous one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the advent of the Internet the publishing industry has streamlined with many major publishing houses merging or simply going out of business. In the cutthroat market of book publishing it sometimes seems to the layman that there is no place for the small printing presses anymore.<span id="more-597"></span> This is simply untrue. The Internet has made it easier for the small presses to reach customers and create special niches. Below are the types of publishing houses, which seem to do the best.</p>
<p>1.Vanity presses: These types of presses charge the author money in order to be published usually in an anthology format. The Internet abounds with poetry vanity presses, which seem to publish just about anything for a price. This has led to a stigma associated with any type of publishing company that charges the author for the right to be published.</p>
<p>2.Pay per book presses: Many would say that this is just another way of saying vanity press. However, these types of presses don&#8217;t actually pretend to enjoy or value a person&#8217;s work. They merely publish a book for everyone that orders it. For many, publishers like Lulu are the only way to get their book to a desired market without spending a small fortune.</p>
<p>Comic book presses: Comic book presses are a dime a dozen and for every one that goes out of business another small comic book publishing company comes to take its place. For some reason people have a hard time taking comic books seriously. This may be due to the idea of a monthly format. Bookstores tend to stray away from selling comic books, but lines such as Borders Books have dabbled in the Graphic Novel format. There is a lot of room for growth in this sector, especially comic books published online.</p>
<p>Online presses: These types of presses distribute their content online. They generally are able to charge far less and still see a profit. However these types of presses too, often have a hard time being taken seriously by readers, who are often looking for something they can hold and take around with them. The potential for the growth of online presses is staggering though. As children grow up more and more surrounded by computers many will grow accustomed to reading from a computer.</p>
<p>Zine presses: This is probably the hardest type of small press from which to turn a profit. Zine presses are almost always labors of love and those who invest in them are nearly always more interested in entertainment for its own sake than for any financial gain. Many Zine presses gain cult followings when they are able to appeal to a special niche.</p>
<p>Collectible book presses: These presses specialize in quality hardcover books and often run reprints with appealing covers and such. Their books are considered collectible because of the high quality and low volume of their production. Sometimes these books can become quite valuable with time.</p>
<p>The World Needs More Small Publishing Companies<br />
In the global market and over the Internet there is a demand for books that appeal to special niches. Large publishing companies usually look for books that appeal to a wide audience so small publishing companies are needed to fill in the gap and entertain the minorities of people who are unsatisfied with books geared toward a general audience. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure you can come up with all sorts of reasons for not starting your own business, the first, of many, being lack of money and uncertainty of its success. But no matter what the reasons are against starting a business, there are just as many reasons for starting one.<span id="more-595"></span></p>
<p>Actually, for the right person, the advantages of business ownership far outweigh the disadvantages. And deciding to write a book means, inevitably that you&#8217;ve decided to be in business.</p>
<p>If the very thought of it leaves you feeling a bit uneasy, the good news is that there are many differences (and advantages) in committing to the self publishing process as a business and starting a traditional small business.</p>
<p>Here are just a few of the reasons why starting your own self publishing company makes sense (even if you only have plans to write one book).</p>
<p>1. You&#8217;ll be your own boss. Having the flexibility and power to make the best and most profitable business choices for yourself is a great benefit of owning and operating your own business.</p>
<p>Couple those benefits with the ability to make your own production schedule, set your own publication date and the ease of print-on-demand publishing and you&#8217;ve got the perfect formula for self publishing success.</p>
<p>2. You can become a published author in 90 days or less. Believe it or not, it would take approximately 570 days to get your message out through a traditional publisher.</p>
<p>Self publishing allows you the opportunity to bring your message to the masses much faster than any other form of publishing and the faster you can bring it to market means the quicker you?ll make a profit.</p>
<p>3. Your earning and growth potential are far greater. At 6% to 10% royalties, very few published authors make any real money. But as a self published author you will keep 100% of the profits.</p>
<p>4. Writing a book is exciting. You can make a long time dream a reality and that will just inspire you to write and publish more.</p>
<p>Besides when you begin to get recognized as the expert, readers and the media look to you to offer insight and opinions to support them in achieving their life&#8217;s goals and that is very encouraging and exciting.</p>
<p>5. Publishing a book provides endless opportunities and exposure. Gaining media exposure and credibility because you &#8220;wrote the book&#8221; on a particular subject will allow you to showcase yourself, your business and your book to a larger audience than wouldn&#8217;t have been possible without it.</p>
<p>If you are a speaker, coach, consultant or entrepreneur looking to get more clients and add more cash flow to your bottom line, you need to seriously consider becoming an author.</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re an author, you can expand your reach by becoming a speaker, coach or consultant.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re running a traditional small business or you&#8217;re a self published author; being a business owner is a lot of work, there are often long hours and times of uncertainty.</p>
<p>But the rewards are great and having the flexibility and courage to call your own shot is exhilarating and potentially profitable too. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once you have an idea for a book and a plan for how to get it written and marketed, it&#8217;s time to put your brain to work with some writing exercises.</p>
<p>Here are 10 different tips to help your brain get the WRITE idea:<span id="more-369"></span></p>
<p>1) When an idea comes to you, usually unexpectedly, it is time to write right now! Record it on anything that is handy and transfer it to full size paper as soon as possible so you won&#8217;t lose it.</p>
<p>2) You should write as long and as often as possible when you&#8217;re in the mood to write. Ideas can flow over a period of minutes, hours and days so steal time if you have to in order to write when you are on a roll. It&#8217;s a justifiable action.</p>
<p>3) Write in the places where you are most inspired and where you go to relax and rejuvenate yourself. If you write in these places you will increase writing time because these are the places you frequent in order to make sense of life. Inspirational locations bring out the best in you.</p>
<p>4) Carry with you at all times key words and phrases from your Table of Contents along with supporting points you want included. Use this barebones outline to write in the waiting rooms of doctors offices or while your wife/husband is shopping or whenever the opportunity presents itself. Key words and phrases are all you need to get you started writing. They are all the inspiration you need.</p>
<p>5) Get up a little early 2 or 3 days a week or go to bed a little later 2 or 3 days a week. Set aside this time to write. You might also consider using part of your lunch hour, if you get an hour, to write a few days a week.</p>
<p>6) If you are a sports fan write between periods, at half time or even during those 3-5 minute commercial breaks. You might also try keeping the sports event on the TV muted even when the game is on. If I&#8217;m rolling along with my writing I don&#8217;t really need the sound to understand what is going on and I can always un-mute the TV if something interesting is going on.</p>
<p>7) If you&#8217;re writing a particularly interesting or important section of your book, leave it out where you can see it. It&#8217;s easier to just pick it up and write for a few minutes if it&#8217;s readily available. Having your work handy also generates ideas just by looking at it. You can jot down those ideas in the margins of your work. (In our house my papers may get moved in the tidying process. Make sure you know where your spouse puts those tidied papers! Consider investing in an inbox for those inevitable fits of housecleaning; that way, you will never lose something important.)</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.ikhwansyrian.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> If you have kids, arrange to exchange babysitting or child watching sessions with someone to allow you to write in a large block of time during times when it&#8217;s your best time to create. I&#8217;m a morning writer and a sports watching writer. Exchanging child sitting time must be mutually beneficial. Using this kind of arrangement also removes any guilt and frustration you might experience regarding finding and using large blocks of time.</p>
<p>9) Pay someone to look after the children. At crucial times in the book authoring process this may be a good investment. This is especially true if writing is a re-creational activity for you. You deserve time for yourself doing what you want to do that has a positive impact on your life.</p>
<p>10) Request for your birthday a weekend retreat to write your book. Pick a location that&#8217;s inspiring for you, relaxing but not distracting, and where interruptions are at a minimum. It could be at a friend&#8217;s house or cottage while they are away for the weekend. Or better yet, send your family away on a great weekend vacation while you stay at home in the comfort of your own office. This plan works just as well for a single day as it would for a weekend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the third in a series of articles with brain-tempting tips that will enable you to make your dream of authoring a book become your reality. Leaders today have a book. The best business decision you can make is to write a book as it provides you instant credibility.<span id="more-367"></span></p>
<p>Here are the final powerful secrets to infuse your brain with the write idea.</p>
<p>1. Making appointments with yourself in your personal planner or PDA will ensure you get some writing done. Often what gets written down gets done and your writing time is no exception.</p>
<p>2. Establish realistic time lines for long-range goals. View target dates with flexibility in mind. Be prepared to change direction temporarily if circumstances dictate it. Three thirty-minute writing sessions may be more realistic than one session of one and a half hours. Do not put undo pressure on yourself or you will act in a counter-productive manner and will find excuses not to write.</p>
<p>3. If you are watching television and the show is not really capturing your interest, take that time to write. If you have materials readily available and organized then shifting your attention to writing rather than watching won&#8217;t be a problem. This applies equally well to other activities that aren&#8217;t capturing your interest.</p>
<p>4. You write more effectively and efficiently by taking regular breaks during long writing sessions. Taking breaks is using your time wisely. The breaks allow the sub-conscious to take over and generate new ideas. Make sure you record these brilliant revelations!</p>
<p>5. Take one lunch hour per week. Eat a quickie lunch and use the time to write. Is there a library or quiet spot near your workplace where you can go? Is writing in your car out of the question? What about staying at your desk while others are away having lunch?</p>
<p>6. If you commute to work by train or bus or car pool, you can use that time to write. If you&#8217;re usually the driver, perhaps you can be a carpool passenger once or twice a week so you can write during the trip. Make sure your car-pooling partners are aware of what you want to do during the commute. On vacation trips or other long drives, write while your spouse drives. Drivers are usually content to watch the road and concentrate on driving, so they will not miss your conversation.</p>
<p>7. Be ready to pounce. If a window of opportunity presents itself to get some extra writing time, pounce on it. These unscheduled spontaneous writing sessions are often most productive. Appreciate the fact that you must be ready to take advantage of these situations. These are golden opportunities to do something you love to do. Go for it!</p>
<p>8. View your practical every-day writing as an opportunity to hone your writing skills. It&#8217;s attitude that&#8217;s important here. Those thank-you notes, staff memos, friendly letters, emails, journal entries and special reports are all writing exercises that give you an opportunity to work on the skills of written communication. You can learn a great deal by writing in all situations. There is always a carry-over to other writing circumstances.</p>
<p>9. Keep writing tools (pen and paper) handy at all times in all places where you just might get the opportunity to write.</p>
<p>10 Writing breeds more writing. The more writing becomes a habit the more it happens. Research says it takes 21 repetitions to break an old habit and establish a new one. Writing for 5-15 minutes per day for 21 consecutive days should establish this writing as a regular habit. So give yourself a reasonable target of 21 repetitions to establish new writing behaviors.</p>
<p>11. Write quickly. Write legibly. Write legible scribbling if necessary. Use abbreviations like w for with and acronyms and the first parts of longer words only. If the only person who is going to read your notes is you, you can take whatever liberties you want to in order to get your ideas on paper and keep the flow going. Scribble now and translate later.</p>
<p>12. As you are writing, put new ideas in the margin of the paper as soon as they come to you. You won&#8217;t interrupt the flow of your thoughts on the page because you already have some key words to help you and you have already been writing. Slow down to record your new ideas, but don&#8217;t stop!</p>
<p>13. Use the Cloze method of reading for your writing. One technique for teaching students to read is to provide a paragraph with words missing. Students have to fill in the blanks with words suggested by the context of the paragraph. Use this same method to speed up your writing. Insert a straight line in your writing for words that you will know by context when it comes to transcribing your draft copy. Put a _______ in your writing as a placeholder.</p>
<p>14. Use acronyms in your draft copy. You can use the authentic conventional acronyms or you can invent some of your own. For example, ataw could mean Awaken The Author Within or b for book.</p>
<p>15. Learn to cover the page. Think in terms of starting every page as if you are going to cover it with writing as quickly as possible with quality ideas. Thinking this way will help you accomplish more writing.</p>
