3 Simple Steps to Write Your Own Book in 2010 - Want to Become an Author?
Saturday, 26 December 2009 08:38 | Written by Veronica Carrillo
Nearly three decades ago I was the editor of Leisureguide, a network of in-hotel-room city guidebooks. One day a letter came from Writer's Market asking if I'd be interested in a listing in their annual publication. I couldn't resist-mainly because I'd get to see my name listed in it. I did buy some freelance articles, but not many. But seeing those words "contact Bob Howells, editor...." in a fancy book-that was cool. I wrote a little paragraph about what I was looking for and the markets I dealt with -- 13 U.S. cities such as Miami, Houston, and Chicago -- and specified how to submit a query. Soon after publication, I started getting queries. Lots of queries. Most were from outer space. To wit, some were of this ilk: Dear Mr. Howells: The elephants of Gabon are among the most endangered in the world... Others were like this: Dear Editor: Please find enclosed a list of stories available for purchase....

The stiffer competition has made it necessary to develop a new means of web access, to rank the websites as per their quality. Employing LSI Keywords to stay at the top of the search engine results is a part of this new concept.
My confession continues: Before the queries went into the round file, my staff and I engaged in an end-of-the-week ritual of query reading-a time of great mirth. We'd read aloud horribly off-the-mark queries, way worse than what I characterized above, and laugh till we were in tears. We'd shake our heads in wonder at all the typos, misspelled words, and ideas grossly unsuitable for Leisureguide, not to mention the crazy shopping-list pitches like the second one above.
Using LSI Keywords Properly Basically Latent Semantic Indexing concept is about using synonyms of the main keyword to provide greater visibility and variety to the content matter on the site. The rich variation in the content style gives it a broader and unique outlook, which is what the engine spider is always looking for to index and give it a higher page ranking. The use of related keywords or phrases gives the content, the increased opportunity to be accessed by more visitors.
Listings can be helpful, but don't rely on them exclusively. Remember that many other editors have had experiences similar to mine. They don't bother to list themselves in compilations of the publishing market.
Don't re-write When you are writing content for your book, do not be concerned about grammar, spelling and formatting. Of course they are essential parts of a good book. But if you need your book written within days and not years, focus on getting your content right. If you are using a word processing software, turn off the grammar and spelling indicators. That will help you to keep focus on the actual subject that you are writing on. After you have
