WAYS TO FIND THE BEST BOOK IDEA FOR A NOVICE WRITER


Regardless of how skilled you are as a writer, coming up with the proper book concept might be a real difficulty.

Whether you're a brand new writer or a seasoned author looking for a new writing assignment, finding the motivation you need to devote to an activity as demanding as producing a book may be exceedingly challenging. I really think that the finest book ideas must originate within.

However, there are other approaches to uncover and grow story ideas that have the potential to become a book concept (or best seller) that you're passionate about writing.

These methods for getting inspiration as a writer stem from pushing myself beyond my comfort zone by attempting new experiences, undertaking enormous amounts of research on topics of interest, executing massive lifestyle experiments, delving deeper into my thoughts and dreams, and much more. Let's get started.

Here are some tips for coming up with the greatest book ideas to help you get started as a new writer.

Write about what irritates you the most.


I could go on and on about the common blunders that entrepreneurs make when starting their first company. It doesn't completely irritate me, but I care so much about this subject and want to help others avoid the most painful mistakes I've made that it feeds my capacity to write endlessly about the complexity of starting a business. What enrages you the most?

Take that subject and write about it without any creative constraints. Allow the words to meet the page without judging them, and then arrange the substance subsequently. This method has inspired several of my finest blog entries, which might easily become book ideas in the future.

Do Something Extraordinary, Then Write About It.


Consider the narrative you might tell if you ride your bike 20,000 miles over 12 states and 19 time zones as Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman did in 2004. These were, of course, celebrities taking time off to raise funds for charity. If you're anything like me, you probably won't be able to travel for free for 115 days. However, there are several smaller-scale spectacular activities that you might undertake that would be worthy of writing about. For example, you may bike across every state in the United States in a year or strive to achieve a world record, then share your experiences and lessons learned with your readers.

Create a blog and start writing chapters one post at a time.


This is especially effective for specialized themes. Create a devoted following by producing a series of blog entries about a topic that interests you. Once you've amassed a substantial collection of postings, you may repackage them as a book. Philip Sandifer enjoys the British science fiction show Doctor Who. He wrote an essay for each Doctor Who episode (there are over 800 in the show's 53-year existence) and then turned his blog articles into a series of books.

To test the waters, write and self-publish a short eBook.


If you have a book concept but are unsure whether there is enough market demand to support book sales, why not test the waters by creating a short eBook on the subject? If your shorter-form eBook receives a great reaction, you'll have the courage to delve further into your subject matter and create a whole book on it. How to Write and Publish an eBook with Tara Gentile goes into great detail on how to use this book validation technique.

Businesspeople are interviewed and their advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is compiled.


If you are a budding entrepreneur, you most certainly look up to role models. Articles or publications that offer advice from businessmen who have gone through the ups and downs of operating a business will always be read and treasured.

Now that you've discovered some inspiration to help you come up with the perfect book concept, I'd like to push you to actually start writing it. Today.
