Topic Authoring for Nonfiction Books Outlines can feel like a wall of text. Use a content organizer to better plan and tackle your nonfiction book.

A little louder for the people in the back:
CONTENT ORGANIZERS ARE BETTER THAN OUTLINES.

Ahem. We'll get off the soapbox.

Check out our blog post on why:

Putting Words on the Page Drivel is better than the blank page. Adjust your thinking and get back to work.

If you’re waiting for your writing project to emerge pristine and fully formed like Athena gamboling down from Zeus’ glorious forehead, you’re going to be waiting for a long time.

How to (Really) Format Your Manuscript Some publishers specify guidelines. There’s plenty of general advice out there about margins, font, etc. But have you tried using styles?

Founding Story: d'Aulnoy Editions Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville – known as Madame or Countess d’Aulnoy (/dol-ˈnwɑː/) – was a 17th-century French writer, lover, and possible spy. Credited with coining the term β€œfairy tales,” . . .

D’Aulnoy published twelve books, but where other fairy tale writers like Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm became household names, d’Aulnoy seems all but forgotten in the mainstream.

Outlines can feel like a wall of text, and they limit the information you can include in the planning stage of your manuscript. Use a content organizer to better tackle your book.

Sit down and start writing. Do it now. Do it every morning while you sip your coffee. Make a date with your laptop or preferred writing instrument and protect that writing time. JustΒ do it.

There’s a stereotype of writers and editors working late into the night for a reason.

Writers, when do you get your best work done?

When I started writing my novel, I followed the guidelines I’d been taught: 1” margins, size 12 Times New Roman, etc. But there are much easier and more beneficial ways to style your manuscript.

With our team scattered from Atlanta to Chicago, you’d think it'd be hard to keep everyone on the same page (pun intended)! TBH we excel at this asynchronous thing.

But it is nice to sit down together and get sh*t done, fueled by coffee and pastries.

We know it takes a LOT of coffee to publish a book, but we were curious just how much each of us starts the day with. Turns out we have similar caffeination requirements!

Writers, how much coffee do you think it took to write your book?
