How To Write & Publish Your Book

How do I become a published author ?This is probably the most commonly asked question by any budding author. There  is  no single  answer to this  question,  like  most things  in  life,  it's  a question of application and gained knowledge. However, there are several shortcuts that will ease your path to publication. Within this book I will offer you advice and tips to take you from    rst base to publication.
The  1st question I would ask at this stage is, why do you want to write and why do you want a published book ? This may appear on   rst sight to be a rather odd question  -  bear with  me,  there is  a purpose in  asking  such a fundamental  question.
