Introduction to Publishing: Build Your Own Storybook

“You have reached the end of your course! I hope that what you have learned in these lessons has inspired you to compose your own storybook. I leave you the last tips on the key steps that I taught you in the process of putting together the course project. Create your own categories, think of the categories that will allow you to classify them. Take the time to think about the themes of each of your texts according to the content they address. I invite you to think of your own to recognize your own style. Keep the reading experience in mind. Discover what is the path of the book that the book proposes by thinking of it as a set of meaning. Explore tension curves and emotional curves. Each reading proposal is determined by the author's own intention. It is important that you begin to discover yours. Create a first order. Establish groups of categories taking into account the possible reading paths according to your categories. Then it reaches the formal and definitive order, in addition, it explores the editorial and material reading criteria to review the power of your structure and reorders the stories according to their weight and relevance within the general set to arrive at the final index. Finally, do the final revision and decide on the title. Analyze the book in a final review with questions that will allow you to reach a plot synthesis and that will help you take a step back to see it as a new unit. Starting from this, you can think of the possible title. Remember that putting together your own book is full of magical moments and allows you to discover new reading paths that are beyond stories. Now I invite you to share your final project with all of us by going to "Create your project". Please, in addition to the final project, tell me what your categories are, your final index, the title and a brief explanation of what your reading proposal is along with the plot summary. So I can comment on your final work. Any questions you have, you can write to me in the forum, I will answer you as soon as possible. I also invite you to interact with your peers. Because even if you think that writing is a solitary act, when we think of sharing our stories we are creating a community of colleagues and readers. Putting together a book is thinking about a reading experience that we want to share with your future readers. That is the task of an editor! Think of a book as an invitation to explore a new universe. If you made it this far, I'm sure you love words and stories as much as I do. Enjoy creating your own book! See you soon on the forum.”
