Edit Prepositions Before Binding Books
Most of the novels and short stories sent to book binding services are good. Many are excellent and many are sub-par. If you’re getting ready to submit, I have a tip for you: make sure that none of your sentences have more than two consecutive prepositions. These little parts that hold sentences together, along with [...]
Binding Books and Post-Ironic Rules
Book binding services receive a lot of books written in a very colloquial style. That’s okay, that has been popular for about a hundred years. We want to write the way people speak. But rarely do the conversations we have sound good on paper. Who would want to read your conversation with your boss about [...]
Think About Brooklyn, Then Book Binding Services
One of my friends recently told me he read somewhere that if you’re a writer, you either have an M.F.A. or you live in New York. These days it would be more proper to say Brooklyn. So many writers and artists have moved to Brooklyn over the past decade that it’s easy to make fun [...]
Writing Before Book Binding Services
Before you submit your book to book binding services, think about getting published. This is a way to show that you’re ready to have your work read widely, when other people deem it literary enough to be better than other work. The internet has made publishing more competitive, but it has also made it easier [...]

I mean every single word should have a place, so that if you deleted any one, it would change the meaning of the entire story. Okay, that’s a touch hyperbolic, but seriously, every word should have a place, and there [...]
The Attitude to Bring to Book Binding Services
Everyone is writing a book. Usually I breathe a sigh of relief when I hear that people’s books will be vastly different from mine. Just last night I spoke to a woman with twenty years of experience in geriatrics. She seemed burdened, like giving her book to book binding services was bail. It seemed that [...]
Binding Services and the Online World
Most writers these days wind up binding books on their own, without the help of big New York publishing houses. And many of them wind up being very successful, often selling between 800 and 2,000 a month. Even 800 books sold at a few dollars a piece is a few thousand, and those are the [...]
Steps to Binding Books
You will reach a point when you want to start thinking about how to market your book once it arrives from the book binding services. If you are an author, it helps to have a strong online presence. This means blogging, visiting other blogs to see what can make your blog better, having a Facebook [...]
Before Binding Books, Tighten Middle
A sagging middle occurs as a result of a loose structure. You may have begun your story with an exciting event but not known where to take it from there. There may be backstory and subplot that you’ve written in an attempt to better understand your story, but which may be unrelated to the plot [...]
