You want to write a book? Okay, but every author wants his work to be read. That’s why the most important thing is to choose a topic that will appeal to as many people as possible.

When you want to get started with your first projects, the first question is, “What do I want my guidebook to be about?” After that, many, many more arise. Who belongs to the target group?

Cookbooks are also always tempting and relatively easy to implement. Regardless of the type of diet, diet or even allergies and intolerances, you can find a variety of books that provide suitable recipes. The truth is: there are a hell of a lot of damn good (cook) books out there, and at least three times as many bad cookbooks. So think about whether you can deliver a cookbook that hasn’t been done before and really adds value for the reader. In the case of recipe books, this includes not only good, new recipes, but also nutritional information and appealing pictures.… weiterlesen
