Tackling the Introduction

What is the purpose of your reading? Why select your copy? What promises will you deliver? These are some of the pertinent questions you will answer in your book’s Introduction.

Go Harder
    The Respect Institute is a public speaking program I partook in. I recall the instructor demanding that we create a strong Introduction and Conclusion. They emphasized the significance of producing a hook to entice the audience, and Conclusion to thoroughly wrap up the talk.

Avoiding Common Author Mistakes
    After publishing seven books, I’ve learned from my mistakes and matured in book development. My experience and direction will undoubtedly support your publishing endeavors. Working with In Her Own Ink will validate and reinforce effective strategies to build your manuscript.

    I discuss practical tips on the building blocks of writing an Introduction in my book, In Her Own Ink: Strategies for Creating from Author to Author. I drill authors on the methods to develop a strong Introduction. Reiterating the demand to make this book’s element concise.

    In other words, our introductions should not be longer than a full chapter. Therefore, aim to make the Introduction shorter, to not only hook the reader but entice them to read this section in its entirety.
The Setup
    Our book’s opening, answers a lot of questions. In fact, it can replace the Preface. That is discussing your expertise, sharing the story behind the story, or title, and any background information our reader should be aware of before diving into your narrative.
Conclusion
    Again, keep your Introduction attractive by answering those questions, keeping it concise and sharing the background scoop on your story. In Her Own Ink will validate and direct your pen in developing a strong and full, polished Introduction. Start Now.
