Subject: Correct Book Format
If I was interested in writing a book and I have
all my infomation. What do I do next?
How do I get it in book form?

Dear Anonymous,
The best way to learn the correct format for a book,
especially for nonfiction, is to study books similar to it.
Research your local
bookstore and library to find similar books and
study the styles and layout. See how they set up the
chapters, bibliography, glossary and index. When you
are ready to submit your work to a publisher you need
to follow proper manuscript technique and submit what is
known as a book proposal. A book proposal can be submitted
before your book is finished. An excellent resource on
book proposals is
How To Write a Book Proposal by
Michael Larsen, (Writer's Digest Books, Sep., 1997).
