PUBLISH YOUR LEGAL ADVICE BOOK

Here is how the process works. First, of course, you have to write your book. For many people, lawyers included, this is an intimidating task. But it doesn't have to be. Don't start out by thinking of it as "writing a book," because it sounds so daunting that you may never get started. Instead, begin by putting together a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions about your topic. What are the main questions clients ask when they call you about their DUI problems or their personal injuries or divorces? Make a list of 10 or 12 questions and then sit down, pick one of those questions, and try to answer it in a few paragraphs. Use specific details and concrete examples to ground your general points. Avoid legal language. Instead, write as if you were talking to one person. The idea is to write in your own voice, so that your writing reflects your personality. If you can do this, you will establish a rapport with your reader, and earn his/her trust and respect. Shoot for about 600 to 800 words, which will come to two or three pages. When you've finished, Chapter One is in the bag. Now move on to your next FAQ. Spend a couple of hours every day for a week or two and you will complete a first draft of your book. Wait a day or two, then re-read it. No doubt you will find some glaring errors and some awkward writing, along with the usual typos, grammatical glitches, etc. You may even want to rewrite parts of it. But do not fall into the trap of endless revision. Do not try to be a perfectionist, because if you do you will never finish your book. You'll simply waste a lot of time.

After the editing phase of the project is complete, your book will move to the design phase, where one of our graphic designers will create a professional cover and an attractive interior. You will be sent proofs to review. It isn't unusual for proofs to go back and forth several times until you are ready to sign off on a "final proof," giving us the go-ahead to print your book. In addition to the printed book we also create an e-Book for you, as well as an amazon "kindle" edition.

Dear Tom, I wanted to write to tell you how pleased I am with Word Association Publishers and your fantastic team. As you know, you have been publishing my legal advice books for years, and now you are publishing books for attorneys and other businesses all across the United States and Canada. All of these folks have learned that a book is the most powerful business card ever invented. What most do not know is how easy you make it for any business owner to become the respected authority in their field by writing a book. I would highly recommend that any business owner who recognizes the value in having a book published schedule a short consultation with you so that you can explain to them how even a bunch of very, very busy lawyers have been able to become the respected authorities in their fields and in their locations. Again, thank you for helping me be able to turn ideas into books in a matter of weeks, not months.
