1. Brainstorm an idea or concept. Think about who will be involved in your story. Think of characters, plot, setting, and point of view. All have to be well thought out for the reader to understand.
2. Write until you can't write anymore. Then after your finish writing, proofread, correct and re-write.
3. Purchase heavyweight paper to print your final draft. Make sure you have set the margins to your liking so the body of text prints centered on the page.

5. Manually bind your manuscript by stapling, taping, or threading the left margin or placing in a large binder. An office supply store can do a plastic spiral binding for you.
6. Cover your book with a hard cover you can purchase through book binding companies or if you had a publishing house bind your book, most likely they will have a cover for you to purchase.
