How to Publish A Book For Free

Preparing For Emergencies And Disasters

Anyone can get a book published. With the new modern resources that we have today, it is simply all up to you.
The first thing that you will want to do, is to:
Start writing - find a topic that is of interest to you. Something that you like.

Things You'll Need

• pens, pencils, paper, notebook, index cards, a place to write, a small notebook for your car, dictionary, library for research, a computer

Instructions

1. 

   First you will need to decide what you want to write about. Ehow has lots of articles and advice in different areas, that can get your brain started "ticking."
   Perhaps you like plants or fruit.

2. 

   Get your paper and pencils ready. When you have a thought, write it down. I cannot stress that enough. Always write it down. Even if you decide not to use that peice right now, you can always file it. You may want to go back and finish that at a later time.
   Keep writing, every day. That is the key to the overwhelming "writers block." Read, write, think, and look around you. There are so many things that you can write about.
   For instance, maybe you like birds. If you don't have birds, there are lots of people that do. Take time to ask questions, take pictures, get to know those people, and they will fill you with lots of advice, information, and all the pictures that you may need.

3. 

   After all your research is finished. Start writing and re-writing. After all this is your work, and you want it to be the best that it can be.
   There are lots of places to get published.
   http://lulu.com is a great start. You get published for free and they have the book covers right online. Their system is very easy to use, however you will need your ISBN number in order to get your book in print. PDF's do not need an ISBN number to get published.
   http://www.createspace.com Offers publishing also. They provide the ISBN number with your book. (that is a savings of about $45.00 for you). You will need however to design your own book cover using their layout.
