A Complete Author’s Program, From Story Ideas to Published Book
Stories To Tell provides a complete step-by-step process to create a personal history book or memoir. Each aspiring author in the Complete Author’s program (CAP) receives our Stories to Tell Author’s Guide, which explains and illustrates each step that you and your editor will take to produce your book.
Our authors successfully complete their books, because they know exactly what they’re doing. Here is an overview of the step-by-step process to create a CAP Book:
1. Reflect Sort through your memories, photos and documents. Do the exercises in our Author’s Guide to generate ideas.
2. Organize Plan the order of your stories. Arrange them on your master outline. Use our photo binder to organize your images.
3. Record Call our phone recorder and tell your stories. Send your photos in the mail. We type, scan and correct them.
4. Revise Read through your draft manuscript. During your editor’s conference state any changes you'd like.
5. Design Your editor oversees the book design. Photos are placed; your cover is designed. You receive a proof copy for approval.
6. Print We send your book to a commercial printer. We check that it's perfect (our guarantee) and then deliver it to you.
